As long as your not near an airport, can put up a rooftop antenna, its
not too windy, your not TOO close to the broadcast tower, people,
trucks, cars, dogs or significant others don't get between your indoor
antenna and the broadcast source and same items don't move to a spot
either side of your indoor antenna that is an 8-VSB challenged spot.
And all the above hold only if and when you can get the LG 5th
generation technology that was in the prototype we tested.
Before that it it iffy.
