Digital broadcast to an inside antenna can be a bit spotty in some places. My daughter lived in Lauderdale (just a few miles from the Shoreview antenna) and had issues getting reception. But her apartment was in the lower level of a brick building. --- Wayne Johnson, | There are two kinds of people: Those 3943 Penn Ave. N. | who say to God, "Thy will be done," Minneapolis, MN 55412-1908 | and those to whom God says, "All right, (612) 522-7003 | then, have it your way." --C.S.
