I was trying to have this discussion with another boatsman, but it seems that there still is a lot of confusion as to what people need to be able to receive digital over the air TV signals. I guess most people pay for cable, or satelite or internet these days so most are not sure about what works for OTA digital TV signals.

Here's what I was trying to ask, perhaps someone here can answer it:

If you have the proper equipment, that is a digital TV capable of receiving an OTA digital TV signal, and a typical 'marine' TV antenna, are there any OTA (over the air) digital TV signals that are strong enough to be viewed on the lake. So that means the TV antenna will be a compromise and at about 7 or 8 feet above the lake level.

So in other words, does anyone have any luck watching live TV any more while on their boat either on the lake or at their dock/mooring?

Unfortunately, I don't have a digital TV so I can't test this myself without spending money. And I don't want to spend any money only to find out that there are no signals strong enough in the lake area to be received.
