There's the other thread that outlines specific issues, but I thought it would be a good exercise to see what the effect of the move is on reception. Take the poll,  post which option you chose and where you live...

COULDN'T get it before CAN Get it now in Germantown - 53022

Fox 6 has requested that you add your zip code to your posts reporting signal strength.

We didn't have it before, and still don't.  I live in NE Tosa (53213).

***EDIT

I just walked in the other room,  and punched in 33 for the chance it might be there and it mapped it to 6-1 and labeled as WITI.  I am still unable to lock in and have only one flashing bar.  We need to get a rotor / reaim.

So far, according to the poll results, it seems as though they made minimal progress with the move.  Probably not worth the hassle.  Time Warner must be happy though.

I couldn't get it before but I can almost get it now. By almost I mean that my Samsung STB can see a signal, but cn't lock it in.

 So put me down as "kinda"?

My signal quality meter on my VOOM box is showing a very faint signal. Not near enough to do anything with.

I sure hope they're just taking a few days to test things out before they crank up the power to full.  I sure don't want to watch the packers on analog again this year.

I'm hoping to see anything, just to compare before the 'switch' hits. Wasn't "The Casino" filmed in HD ?

I'm in Cedarburg (53012) about 1/2 mile from Greg.  

Before the move the signal was 70-80 on a Sony HD100
and would lock most days.  Sometimes the signal would be
80 but the HD100 was unable to lock.  (due to channel 34
being so strong)

After the move the signal is also 70-80 and seems not to be
as finicky about antenna placement.

Time will tell.
