I have since been receiving KHBC fairly well up here (I'm right across from Akatsuka's Orchid Farm above the 22mile marker on the way to Volcano). Seems the signal might be stronger in the evening? At times the signal on this channel is absolutely pristine, and the image is startling with rich color on my smallish analog TV, but generally there are dropouts that make dialogue and action difficult to follow. No PBS so far. The scan picked up three other channels during a moment of strong reception, but so far they are essentially not receivable normally.
I bought the Magnavox at Wal-mart. About $11.00 with the coupon. Seems like an okay unit, fairly easy to set up. Has an analog pass-through for channel 5, but it's a pain to change to analog, requiring a visit to a menu, and another menu visit to get back to digital.
