Question about digital TV reception

Renting tower space costs lots of $$, not to mention the engineering effort to get a license. There goes the negotiation for satellite rebroadcast of that station. In theory, it would be a great idea.

If you install any kind of outdoor antenna, be sure to include proper lightning arrestors. Simply grounding the antenna mast is not sufficient and a surge protector is useless where lighting is involved.
