Wow, . . . after all these months of waiting I shouldn't have expected much more.

What dismal reception results. One more government orchestrated program to praise, . . . NOT.

Oh well, there is always FREE TO AIR satellite to try next.

Don't give up yet! There's a few more of us now since your first post. Have you entered your information at TV Fool yet? Post your results here and we can possibly give you a hand.

Thanks for the encouragement, . . . but I would tend to believe that with an ERP of 880 kW, at a distance of only 33.2 miles, using new high quality all copper core feed cable, a 39 element UHF yagi, a quality antenna mounted preamp, directed at azimuth: 174 degrees / compass: 157 degrees, and a CLEAR VIEW of the Seattle horizon, . . . that one would be able to view this broadcaster with little or no difficulty.

Not so my friends. My assumption is that the broadcaster still does not yet have all of their analog vs. digital distribution antenna arrays squared away yet.

I can presently view much more distant (lower ERP) stations at a greater signal strength here. Something is amiss still.

Have re-scanned 10 times now for good measure.

Again, VHF stations are not a problem. Strong signal with no fade or loss. However the band opening / closing on UHF continues to be a challenge to deal with.

Ok first off, please excuse my denseness(don't even know if that is a word, but does apply to me often). What is free to air satellite? Is that the C-band satellite? Probably not cus that ain't free, oh wait some of it is free I forgot. Not much though, anyway>
