We would lose our local stations almost as soon as we left our local ZIP CODE areas...
We now use the NATL BROADCAST from the local towns to get our fill of local stations where we go...
They are all transmitted in high def HDTV digital TV now and all perfect signals or nothing at at all...
Each station loaction can transmit up to six channels and this is usually filled with WX radar 24/7 and lots of old movie and past TV series like Gun Smoke and MASH etc...
We get outstanding results using our UHF crankup BATWING antenna to pick up these local town transmissions...
Our SAT TV was bringing along the spare SAT RCVR and a SAT DISH tripod... Now we don't bring those along anymore and just tune in the FREE CLEAR HDTV signals from the local towns...
