I would like to see a list of those 21 channels. Maybe he is talking of
program channels. Maybe he is between markets and picks up two or more.
I only tried aiming at the Empire State building because there is a wall

buildings he talks off. At Mark's we will receive no more than I am
receiving I believe.
