I went to www.iwantmyhdtv.com. However, it would appear that if they were to get this bill passed I wouldn't be helped because HDTV is officially available in my area. I was told this was an impossibility sense I am 80+ miles from the broadcast sites.

is this a case of just needing a better antenna then the hicks around here know about?

I don't think so, 80 miles out sounds like SOL territory.. but i'm not an expert :smug
 
Go to atechfabrication.com and click on antennas. The dual setup using Blakes has a long range. A lot depends on your local terrain. I know a guy that gets San Francisco from his house in Georgetown [ in the Sierras above Auburn ] with no problem. That's well over 100 miles. Go to antennaweb.org and put in your address. If you get purple for your digital channels then thats the setup you need.
