Can't really say too much about the programming. It's all over the place. Reception in Plano is very good.

KHFD/51 ON FROM CEDAR HILL

Love the video!Bob E. Nelson said:
I've always suspected that most of the difference between Bob's experience and mine is elevation. I need a rooftop antenna to get line-of-sight with KHFD (18 feet above ground, according to TVFool.com).
Another big problem in my neighborhood is the density of trees. This has its worst effects at the highest frequencies, and naturally KHFD is at the very top frequency of the TV spectrum.
If I had to bet, I'd bet folks a few blocks west of me could get the channel with nothing more than an attic antenna. It's a bit higher and the signal would have fewer trees to go through.

My elevation (per Google Earth) is 780 feet and, it being a still relatively new part of Frisco, there's not much in the way of trees. I had zero interest in OTA when I bought the house back in 1995. But now that I've become fascinated by the pictures a-flyin' through the ether, I got lucky with the location...location...location.

Same here, sort of ... except for the luck with location. I had cable in Oklahoma City and was planning on the same when I moved to Garland. But then I saw a magazine ad for Dish Network and decided to go for satellite + OTA instead. It wasn't until I started planning for the digital transition that I put up a good enough antenna to discover LPTV. Now I'm glad I went that route.
