DTV Signals From San Francisco Clear as a Bell in Rancho Cordova!

R

RadioStarOne

What's this the San Francisco digital TV signals are coming in clear as a bell here in Rancho Cordova, CA. KTVU, KQED, KRON, KOFY, KTEH, KPIX, Channel 38 and more but the signals from the Sacramento stations are weak. And all of this with an indoor DTV antenna with a DTV tuner board in my computer. Imagine what the folks with a roof top antenna are receiving! Amazing!
 
I'm not sure if this is the cause of the Sacramento stations being weak, but I remember pre-DTV transition, KCRA had let viewers know that their new DTV transmitter wouldn't be at full-power until a later time. The thing is, Rancho Cordova is only ~25 miles from the antenna farm, so that shouldn't be much of a problem. One thing I do wonder though is if the Sacramento DTV stations can reach San Francisco. On Broadway near Chinatown in SF, I was able to receive KXTV and KOVR clearly on a handheld TV. Didn't try any other Sacramento stations. But that was pre-DTV and I don't know if the DTV signals now would be strong enough for a DTV set-top box to decode from that location. Are those San Francisco signals still reaching your location or are they gone now?
