Catch 22.
 
But it's more than just no signal. Even if you go to the trouble of picking up 
the Daytona Beach stations, there's hardly adequate choice. Going with 
Antennaweb, even people living IN Daytona Beach have very poor OTA service. The 
vast majority of their TV sources are over 40 miles away.
 
Within the Orlando suburbs, things seem better. Move a little distance away 
from Orlando, even in cities like Daytona Beach and Gainesville, and forget 
about OTA choice. At least, you guys finally got NBC, now that they are falling 
apart at the seams. OTA is definitely a "bare minimum" proposition in much of 
Florida, seems to me.
