About This Setup:

A computer ATSC tuner. Our apartment is an upper across from a farm field and golf course.

	WBAY	Good (61-80%)
	WFRV	Good (61-80%)
	WLUK	Moderate (41-60%)
	WIWB	Moderate (41-60%)
	WGBA	Good (61-80%)
	WACY	Moderate (41-60%)
	WPNE	Good (61-80%)

Overall Satisfaction with Reception:

The reception is moderate, but we are going through a couple walls using a non-powered basic indoor antenna.

A note about the Hauppauge HVR-1600 computer tuner and WinTV software (version 6) -- digital subchannels like WPNE and WBAY's do not work!
