I hooked my new hd-100 up to my uhf antenna (CM 4842 + CM 7775) last night and got 4 of Seattle's DTV signals from 60 miles away. I'm on the SE side of Fidalgo Island (for you Washingtonians) with a signal path across 3 island land masses, as well as water.
I've been watching a piss-poor (lots of multi-path problems) uhf signal on the same tower as one of the dtv's for a couple of weeks, wondering if I'd get any OTA.
Well, to my surprise, I get fox & pbs perfectly and cbs and nbc affils with some dropouts. Enough dropouts that watching a program would be unbearable. But, when the picture's there, it's fantastic. No multipath in the hdtv pictures. Now, I've gotta see if I can move the antenna or do something to improve the dropout rate. cbs affil is what I'm aiming for 'cause they've got the most hdtv.
