[QUOTE="FOX TV, post: 42086, member: 4493"][b]Antenna Web is not acurate !![/b] I have a big problem with Antenna Web, as its data base, or the routines that generate the data is flawed badly. I have a direct line of sight to a 4,000 foot mountain where the majority of the transmitters are located in this market. When doing a search for my specific address, the transmitter for our station is not listed as even existing, much less being receivable. If I use my zip code only, it is then listed as receivable. I e-mailed the moderator and told her about this issue, and even had a few phone conversations with her about why that transmitter did not show up in a address specific search. She said that the algorithms used to generate the data did have an "Acceptable" inaccuracy rate, and they were aware of it, but it was in the "Acceptable" range as far as they were concerned. I was told that they would look into it, but to this day, my specific address still does not show our transmitter in a search, but a general search using zip code only shows the data. I find that very strange, since I can stand on my roof when the leaves are gone and see the transmitter towers only about 18 to 20 miles away. Here is a link to another type of antenna search that lists any type of FCC registered tower site, Cell Phone site, and many other types of licensed transmitters near your home or residence.
