The Westinghouse Home Products division in Sunbury was over 70 miles from the nearest TV transmitter, on a flat spot at RR tracks and river north end of town.

WGAL-4 (later 8) was on a tall building in Lancaster. Philadelphia had three more channels but was over 100 miles, so maybe they tested the sets on top of the nearby hills.

That tuner is pretty interesting, I wonder if that distance alone affected their designs?
