    Here is the coverage plot for Chicago. http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=80&q=call%3dWPWR I am outside the "ring", but still at least as of last night getting good reception, far better on average that I get from LOCAL channels....

    Noob question: Advise on Sat TV, Dish/Direct vs big dish?

    What is BUD? Big Ugly Dish? I sure wish I could! I think my wife would shoot me.... I am hoping to get enough stations that the family won't "want" more than that. My daughter wants to watch a show on ABCFamily, I don't think that one is OTA at all. Is it on FTA?

    Noob question: Advise on Sat TV, Dish/Direct vs big dish?

    Got the big yagi in yesterday and tossed it up, coarsely aimed it and I picked up 35 stations and majority were Chicago coming at "good" on signal, no drop outs like we used to have with the much smaller yagi. I lost Madison stations, but I am aimed at Chicago. Anyone know where to find out...

    Noob question: Advise on Sat TV, Dish/Direct vs big dish?

    I am about 90 miles outside Chicago. I am looking to pickup a 100in long boom UHF antenna to try to pickup Chicago OTA. I can pickup a couple stations in Madison, WI (PBS and WKOW), but the rest are marginal and often not worth watching). Chicago has a lot of OTA stations. Kids are 11-18...

    Noob question: Advise on Sat TV, Dish/Direct vs big dish?

    I can't seem to find any primers or forums geared towards someone who is trying to decide what is best to go with. I have had Dish before, it was ok, nothing great. I had Comcast, got tired of going broke, so we canned them. My wife wants more than OTA TV. I like the idea of a C Band Dish...
