DTV Signal Reception in Kewaskum

[Dan the Man]

Does anyone have any info on which DTV channels I should be able to get OTA in Kewaskum and what kind of signal strength/quality I can expect?

I recently moved to Kewaskum and am debating between Charter HD or going with DirectTV and trying to get my HDTV from OTA.

Thanks!

Dan,
I live in West Bend, so take this for what it's worth.  I am currently getting 4-1, 10-1, 12-1, 18-1, 24-1, 30-1, 36-1, and 55-1 steady at 100% strength.  6-1 and 58-1 are steady at 80%.  I am using a channelmaster 8 bow-tie antenna mounted to a 15' rod placed on the roof of my single story home.  My tuner is a D* RCA-DTC210.  I used to have a Samsung 360 D* tuner and the strength would flutter all over the place (40, 68, 40, 0, 0, 0, 68, 40, etc).  The RCA seems to have a better tuner IMO.  I would recommend the channelmaster antenna and would mount it as high as you can.  www.antennaweb.org  tells me I am 27.2 miles away from the farthest antenna in Milwaukee.  Check the website and see what you come up with.

BTW, you might try aiming towards Madison or Green Bay as well.  I was able to pick up a good number of those stations with my old Samsung.  I havn't tried yet with the new-and-improved RCA.
