Does anyone get WMUR in HD over the air?

Your ability to receive off the air signals depends on:

1) Your elevation above the average terrain (or should I say, the antenna's elevation about average terrain)

2) Your distance from the station(s) you wish to receive

3) The antenna gain, antenna mounted preamp gain and noise figure (if you use one) and the sensitivity of the TV receiver.

If you live on a hill and put the antenna up high as well, you will get good signals unless you are very far from the transmitting facilities.

Where I live, I get Boston, Providence RI, a lot from New Hampshire, and sometimes Springfield, MA. The location is 45 miles West-North-West of Boston, and is on a hilltop. The antenna is in the attic of a 2 storey house, with a rotator and an antenna mounted preamp.

The only think I can honestly say that we miss are the Red Sox games, because they are only available on pay TV.
