l live in a large city close to its downtown and I don’t reliably get maybe a dozen of the 60-odd channels, and that’s because in my neighborhood the houses stands literally ten feet apart, which creates a lot of interference. But when I do get any of the channels, I get them perfectly.
Contrast to when I was growing up in Warren, about 12 miles from downtown, where we would get fuzz and snow and double-imaging on literally every channel we could pull down, and we didn’t have anywhere near the same issues of interference from proximal buildings. Channel 2, the CBS affiliate, was especially bad for double-imaging, and I remember everyone I knew at the time had the same problem with the same channel.
