How do I found what digital TV reception I get in my area?

The number of Digital TV channels varies greatly with in each local area, so it is best to look up your available channels by visiting special websites, such as:

http://www.titantv.com
http://www.antennaweb.org
http://www.tvguide.com


In addition, you can also find excellent local information from performing searches on the internet. Due to the proliferation of DTV channels, it is difficult to get the latest information from newspapers or other printed sources. In addition, the number of channels you receive depends on your physical location, your antenna and the location of the broadcast antenna. Broadcast television signals are line of sight , which means the best signals are received by pointing directly at transmitter. Buildings, mountains and other obstructions will affect the quality of the signal you receive.
