<p>Anyone know how the over-the air reception is in the apartments? We’re trying to minimize costs and are deciding between broadcast cable (~$11/mo) and over-the-air (free!) What channels can one generally get?</p>
<p>The TV transmitters are all located on top Mt. Wilson, just above Pasadena, and they send out a signal that can be picked up all the way down in San Diego. You should get pretty good reception with a regular antenna. Channel 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are all broadcast over the air.</p>
<p>You will need a digital antenna adapter, however, because starting a year ago the stations stopped broadcasting the analog signal.</p>
