I'm considering moving in the next couple months, and I was wondering if there are people in the Pewaukee area who are able to get dTV broadcasts.  If so, what signal strengths are you getting on what channels?  I have the RadioShack UV-190XR outdoor antenna on my roof connected to a HiPix here in `tosa and I get pretty decent signal strengths considering I am level with a freeway offramp.

1.x (CBS) 84
4.1 (NBC) 87
10.x (PBS) 76
12.1 (ABC) 86
18.1 (WB) 84

The only station I care about is ABC, but CBS and NBC would be good.  Well, and FOX if they ever get off their ... uh, thumbs.

You should have no problem using the setup you have now.  I'm in Hartland and all of stations you mentioned come in fine except WB61 (18) which has been MIA for the last several weeks.  As a bonus you will most likely be able to get the Madison DTV channels without any problem  In fact CBS 3 (DTV 50) is at almost full power and easier to get that low powered 46.  Welcome to the Lake Country.

Are you getting fox from madison?  That would be pretty nice to point out of Milwaukee and pick that up...  I don't have any "signal boosters" or anything like that, just the antenna itself, and no rotors.

I get Fox from Madison on WMSN DT 11 but have an antenna and rotor.  WMSN is a Sinclair owned station which means there is only an upconverted picture.  No Fox widescreen, just cheap-screen.
