I have a traditional (35 mile?) outdoor yagi TV antenna with a UHF tail that I've been using since the analog days. That's been the best for me

Strangely enough, after the DTV transition, I've been able to get Santa Fe's PBS stations
Would you PM me your exact location? I'd like to do coverage maps for your location for Albuquerque and Santa Fe just to see what they predict.

I am 33 miles from the Tucson stations on Mt. Bigelow with direct line of sight and have no problems receiving with an amplified indoor antenna in that side of the house. I have success with the big Mitsubishi DLP set, a current LG LCD model, and even the little OTA converter dongle attached to the DISH Hopper.

I have not tried reception in the opposite side of the house.
