<p>[QUOTE="pjs344, post: 213352, member: 67716"]Antennaweb and tvfool are good to start with but lacking in a number of areas. Like mainly covering the full service stations and not covering there station translators in many areas. Lack of low power stations. Lack of station changes and sub network updates. There really only good to see if you can get the 5 major networks in most areas. But do not assume that you can't get any station because it does not show any. When this happens you need to use Rabbitears. Go to Tv query put in your city or town and state. It will give you all the stations and transmitters in your area if any. From there you can find out where the transmitters are and what direction to point your directional antenna. See the distance and transmitter coverage area map. If your in range and have the right size antenna you should get the stations. But in some cases even if you have a clear site to the transmitters you may not get a station(s) do to some hidden interference that you can't see in it path. That's the problem with ATSC 1.0 and the new ATSC 3.0 is said to not have all these interference problems. We shall see?[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
