Has anyone in the list had any experience using an external HDTV antenna in Worcester?
Personally no, but my neighbor here in Boylston uses it.
Reason I ask is that we ditched the full spectrum tv channel lineup and went with a the abbreviated channel lineup. However, we are missing the local broadcast tv stations and I was wondering it I could pick up some of them using an external antenna.
In this case, it depends how high up you are, how clear a view you have to the transmitters, and how well you orient the antenna. I hear that HD is more finiky than the old VHF/UHF stuff.
I searched the web for information but I do not have enough of a radio background to understand the meaning of the signal strength tables that I find.
A while ago I purchased an interior antenna and did not have any luck so I figure that I might try an external antenna.
Trying putting it as high up as possible in your house. On the roof if at all possible.
