Default TV Signal coverage

I was wondering the same thing, so I did a web search, and found that over the air TV signal coverage is marginal at least in the village of Pinellas, unless the antenna is very high. I understand the are specific local requirement on outside antennas, so I am sure you will not be able to place the antenna high enough to get a good signal.
Also, you will need a rotor, and a piece of paper to remind you which way to point the antenna for a specific TV station. This kind of makes channel surfing difficult as best, and forget picture in picture, unless the 2 TV stations are located in the same direction.
There were several website that had lots of information on both signal strength (estimated) and direction. Please do not ask for the specific sites, I did not save this information.
Hope this helps.
