On out, you're screwed. I'm 50 miles away with the biggest rooftop antenna and booster I could buy (been after this for 4 years, early adopter you know) but I still get freeze ups and loss of picture.

Good luck.

There's too many variables to put a single, simple distance limitation.
The transmitted power level and where it's directed will affect reception at whatever distance. And then there's elevations, terrain and obstacles to consider. Unless the OP is your neighbor, then your experience does not apply to his situation.
Have you visited www.tvfool.com to get the estimated power levels at your location? You can also get an overlay for googlemaps to view reception levels for your area.

Only 50 miles? - Jon L 11:39:59 05/01/09 (0)
Which antenna, booster, and HD receiver are you using?

I once stood on top of my roof, manually turning the antenna by milimeters for that sweet "lock" while someone was watching the TV screen downstairs...
Line of sight helps too. - oscar 10:08:40 05/01/09 (0)
I'm on the wrong side of the hill so half the OTA HD channels are unavailable.
