Hi, if you don't mind, I would like to do a double check on reception potential from Pleasanton, CA, mostly from Sutro Tower, near San Francisco.
In case it isn't obvious, there is a really big hill in the way, so some simple attempts I made 20 years ago were futile. Nonetheless, I would like to try again.
These are the channels I have in mind, pretty much all on Sutro Tower.
KTVU-DT cable 2 / D 44 / FOX /
KRON- virtual 4 / D 38 / UHF - might be available via free internet / HULU ?
KPIX-DT 5 / CBS / UHF 29 / Virtual 5 / 560-566 MHZ
KGO-DT 7 - / UHF
KQED-DT 9 /
KOFY-DT 20.1 / 20.2 / UHF
KMTP-DT 32 (digital 33) 32.1, 32.2 / UHF / ??? MHZ
KBCW-DT 38
KBCW-DT 44 / Virtual 45 UHF / CW / watch often / ??? MHZ
KCSM-DT 60 / Digital 43 / UHF / 60.1, 60.2, 60.3 / watch occasionally
Optional / not required, but interesting
KICU / cable 6 / D 36.1 / Fremont Mission Peak broadcast tower (nearly south from Pleasanton)
KTEH - D10 / PBS feed. It might be possible to watch the shows on-line ?
Here is the TV Fool report taken at 40 ft high.

The antennas I am thinking about are:
- antenna direct XG91
- DB8
It will take about 100 ft of cable to get from the antenna to the TV.
