On 12Feb2008, Centris website admitted that their (proprietary) study was based
on
antennaweb.org, as was cited in Dave Lung's 15Feb article:
http://www.centris.com/pages/viewnews.aspx?newsID=34&SiteID=9
http://www.tvtechnology.com/pages/s.0015/t.11299.html
Also note the current article reiterates that they ASSUMED outdoor antennas,
despite
their separate study indicating over 47% of OTA users used indoor antennas.
PS: I find Longley-Rice model results from Radio-Mobile and www.tvfool.com to be
quite accurate, although neither includes
tree loss, attic/indoor loss, antenna gain
and whether or not a Preamp is used.
Which is why I plug Radio-Mobile propagation loss results into a spread sheet.

Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
(A rhetorical question ... you don't ...)
Hint: look carefully! You'll figure it out.
