You misunderstood my point.
We live in a valley that is quite distant from the transmitters. The DC market
area can hardly be described as one giant valley. The towers are way out there,
on higher ground but not within anything approaching LOS, and we live in a
relatively narrow, small valley.
The LOS "requirement" is therefore, far as I can tell, not factual anymore. May
have been for the 1st gen receivers, I wouldn't be surprised, but things change.
I think that Frank Eory wrote a very good ATSC document years and years ago,
stating that the expectations for DTV reception had changed. All I'm saying is,
receiver performance changed too, after that document was published.
