While waiting for my post to appear in Help with Reception, I'll post something here in General Feedback.
I have Dish Network with no local channels.
I live in NYC and can get all of the major national networks. Why pay for something that is public domain.
Dish doesn't provide the channels I want anyway. Like local PBS for LI and NJ. Thats what I am trying to receive locally.
I really only watch History, TLC, NatGeo, and Discovery on satellite.
Besides, I was channel surfing and can't believe what crap I am paying for. Garbage like Snookie, Repo Men, Pawn Stars, Cheaters (Reality TV...WTF, its all staged by actors!) or Housewives of Trailer Trash City...?
Anyway, I happen to come across this website through a reference on another website when I was looking to aim my antenna directly at the transmitter.
I was using google maps to get an approximate bearing on where to aim.
Obviously this was not very accurate. Then I searched for bearings by imputing two coordinates, similar to air navigation. But I got VOR info.
This website was exactly what I was looking for all in one place.
Now I am hoping some of the more experienced enthusiasts can provide me with some advice on getting these stations.
Thanks to all.
