Hello tigerbangs. I woluld be greatful if you could tell me whether your prescription is likely to work for me before I go to the trouble and find out it dosn't work. My antenna is about 20ft above ground level, ground level is around 40ft ASL. I am around 46 miles from a digital terestrial transmitter with an output of 2.3Kw. Analogue reception at 500Kw from the same is quite grainy. For the signal to reach me it must first pass over mountains about 750-1000ft high with a 300kw analouge UHF transmitter (but no digital

)on them 7 miles from my home. I have been told that these factors make it impossible for me to recive the digital channels, but maybe there is some hope!

Id be very greatful if you could help me.
