     @snowdusk_ Yep. I live on the south shore of Lake Erie. Back in the good old days of analog television multiple signals out of southwest Ontario were easily received via antenna here on the south shore. CFPL-TV on NTSC channel 10 was easily received through much of the year. Now, not so much.

     I have an HDHomeRun receiver hooked up to a Yagi-Uda television antenna inside my house's detached garage. That's why you see the results of my reception tests so much. Reception changed in 20 years.

     @snowdusk_ Generally over-the-air digital television is actually quite a bit harder to receive than analog television ever was. My community is in the 15% of the country that is outside regular *stable* reception range of any over-the-air station. I can't get consistent reception out of Erie over the state line in Pennsylvania either. London, Erie, and Cleveland are all roughly the same distance away from me. Previously in the analog TV world I could snag TV out of all three communities...
