“On your TVF Report, the list of station call-signs are HTML links to a profile of the terrain between the transmitter, displayed on the left and your location shown on the right.”

I've looked at these, what do the colors tell you? It seems I have either solid green or yellow on most of them.

“I agree with JC's antenna suggestion (provided WTVF intends to continue operation on real channel 5, an HD7696P by the same vendor would offer access to the WTVF translator on real channel 50 with virtually identical performance on channels 7 – 69).”

WTVF (CBS) used to be digital on uhf but changed to original position real channel 5 (very low vhf) after digital conversion. I don't think they were satisfied with a high end uhf (50) because those are the ones that lose more power in cable, etc. and the distance issues with uhf. They are the only major network I can pick up with rabbit ears. I wish they had stayed with uhf. The antennas would be a lot smaller if not for this one station. I would consider the HD7698P, HD7697P, or HD7696P if I could find a small low vhf antenna that I could install in attic. I really don't want rabbit ears on both of my tv's after I install the outside antenna just to pick up real channel 5.
What is this WTVF translator on real channel 50? Are you saying I can pick up CBS using this translator station? I assumed that this was their previous channel they were using and that it wasn't active now. Do I need to call WTVF and check on this?
