[opendtv] Re: New DTV SIGNAL STRENGTH PREDICTOR

Cool site!
It shows I've got a couple low power digital stations less than 2 miles away, though I don't seem to be able to get them.

This site is a major improvement over the AntennaWeb signal prediction software, which has a very limited terrain database. Using the AntennaWeb site I am be led to believe that all stations (4) in my market are receivable using their recommended antenna while in reality, only one of the four can possibly be received using a 30 ft. mast and a high gain antenna. It is important to consider that the AntennaWeb software is sponsored the CEA and they, in my somewhat limited experience, will never predict a NO coverage scenario. This new site predicts my reception very accurately and also advises a user of the receive antenna height required to receive each of a markets signals: in my case a tower of about 400 ft. would do the trick.

A BETTER DTV SIGNAL STRENGTH PREDICTOR
Check out this Website for industrial-strength DTV signal strength predictions at any receiving location.
Just enter your address and antenna height above ground, and get back (free of charge)
a chart showing incoming DTV signal strengths taking terrain data (including diffraction losses) into account.
Other useful information is also provided. (Thanks to San Diego SBE Chapter 36 for this story tip.)
