I'm posting this here because I know some of our members are interested in the magic of RF transmission. Interesting article out of RIT. OTA has to be captured somehow, and this may be part of an improvement at the reception end. Or it's just plain interesting...

Looks like the House approved a funding cut for public broadcasting yesterday. The bill will move on to the Senate. I fear this bill approval could darken quite a few stations. I was employed by a local PBS/NPR station and it was always a battle to raise funding. Have to see what the future brings.

Today, 4/4/25, my local PBS station is airing Austin City Limits Celebrates 50 Years, 9 to 11 eastern. A great show with a wide varity of music, leaning towards country. I always thought there audio was spot on. Very good production wise.

Is it possible you will get the station based on your Amazon record of location?

I have to say over the many years they have been pretty good when I compare them with comments in my area about other companies. Technically very good, and reliable. Only bad comment is they really can't do phones in all of their areas. Gremlins get into the phone area of the spectrum they use...

I find this interesting because they will carry local stations. It says 150 stations, which I will guess hits a lot of the country. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/pbs-local-stations-kids-drama-documentary-fast-channels-amazon-prime-video-1236210852/
