Glad you like it.
Interference is hard because you have to do a separate calculation (F(50,10) for interference versus F(50,90) for service) and over a longer distance and for many, many more stations. It's a performance problem. If performance weren't an issue, I wouldn't have an adjustable distance selector because I'd just pick a sufficiently large value (140 miles?) and run every study at that distance, then drag in some number of potentially interfering stations beyond that. While I wish I could do that, unfortunately that study would take multiple minutes to run, and would bog the server down for everyone.
Ultimately, the FCC's TVStudy software, which powers the Signal Search Map, is capable of doing it. You might want to try it out. I have a VirtualBox file with it pre-installed if you want to try it, though I don't remember if it's the current version or not. (Send me a PM if you want the link.)
