Don't know but you can get it with OTA. I'm using $40 rabbit ears
from Radio Shack and they work find.

Live in the Hayward Hills in a little valley near the end of the San
Mateo Bridge. With Rabitt ears I get 2,4,5,7,9,11,and 44. 7 is the
only station I have to move the 'ears' for. The others all get OTA hd
from the same location in my Apartment.

I wish. Down in a valley, the complexes antenna can't pull in the
signal. Bought the rabbit ears as a last resort and they work fine.
Must be there antennae. Now, If could get them to put in a really
good antenna just for hd....

I had the same problem with kron. Had to move the 'ears' to one and
only one place in my apartment then I got the signal fine. You might
want to wander around your place to see if you can find a sweet spot
for the big game.
