I live in North Phoenix, and with my Radio Shack outdoor antenna,
pointed a bit off to the south east, I get all of the tucson HD
digital channels, as well as all the Phoenix ones,,,,

That better than 140 miles away - dont try that with analog TV,,,,

I am sure that the 10,000 feet transmitter towers in Tucson dont hurt
a bit, you should have no problem at all getting them. In fact, the
UPN Tuscon station has a far better picture than the UPN Phx station.

Kirk, what part of Tucson do you live in. I'm up in Continental Reserve,
North of Cortaro and Silverbell.

I'm using DirecTiVo. Is there an antenna that would attach to the sat dish
to be an easy install for HD here?

Thanks.
