Kudos to NHPTV too as they are teamed with WMUR on this. Here's the info from the WMUR website: http://www.wmur.com/digital/18462565/detail.html

.....for Poinstering that out, Elly!

I meant to include them but sometimes my brain is faster than my fingers, and my fingers couldn't keep up in the post. Or something like that.

At any rate, kudos most especially to NHPTV as they are a not-for-profit station with fabulous programming, and have worked very hard to get updated with what they needed to meet the government-mandated deadline on digital broadcasting.

I had the "Test Show" (for lack of a better way to put it) on tonight between 5:30 and 6:00 -- my television "passed the test" so to speak........... anyone else want to chime in?

Since Antennaweb.org doesn't cover the Lake area well, or at least shows minimal or no reception, has anyone on the lake had any luck in getting over the air HD reception of Portland, Manchester, or Boston? I'm sure the Belknap mountains hose those north of them, but looking down the "Alton Bay valley" should allow for possible Boston reception with a good enough antenna....but it is about 85 miles to Boston transmitters.

This is the site used by WMUR during their on the air test:

Try plugging in the call sign of your favorite station and see what their map looks like. I'm on cable, so its all seamless to me (except for stations not carried)

The coverage map at the FCC seems to include most or all the Lake area:
