[opendtv] Re: Slim pickins in Gainesville

Bert -
I'm not sure how to interpret that data. Is the 2nd column an rf channel number? And is the one with degrees direction? (from me?)
Basically when I get there I'll probably use each card to do a channel scan for digital channels, in multiple directions, and go from there. My current place has a high ceiling so I can have a 13' pole in the living room with a double bow tie on it, in addition to a UHF antenna in the attic. It makes a great nerd fashion statement. But my new place has low (or standard?) ceilings and I won't get away with that. It may be awhile before I get a rooftop rotor again, which it looks like it I may need.

But I have two PCHD cards each with two inputs. Maybe I'll just put 4
antennas in the attic, pointed in 4 directions. I certainly have no
intention of putting up a tower (rental) and I just signed up for Cox
broadband without any cable TV at all. The web page didn't mention it
and I forgot to check for a discount if I got limited basic. I might
revise this part later.



Tom, that FCC site mentions these rather powerful translators. I'd be very 
curious what they're there for. If there's any justice, they should be to relay 
the missing common OTA stations in Gainesville, like NBC, CW, MNT, and 
whatever. This is how the powerful ones are listed. Note also the decent 
antenna heights. Maybe someone knows what they're for:

There are also applications for some low-power DTT stations, but that's 
different. I didn't include those. I'm surprised that a market like Gainesville 
doesn't have some larger OTA TV market they can easily feed from. Antennaweb is 
singularly unhelpful for Gainesville.
