Getting Free HDTV in Santa Cruz?

Lots of people ask about getting off the Cable TV bandwagon and trying to get HDTV off-air signals in Santa Cruz County and while it’s not my business to tell them they should or shouldn’t. Here is what I’ve found when installing HDTV antennas.  If you are in an area that doesn’t have Comcast CATV, and you are on a mountain or hillside with a view of the Monterey Bay area, you will receive about 6-7 stations.

KQET-DT9.1  PBS  Watsonville, CA
KCBA-DT35.1  FOX  SALINAS, CA
KSMS-DT31.1  UNI  MONTEREY
KSBW-DT8.1  NBC  SALINAS, CAen
KION-DT46.1  CBS  MONTEREY, CA
KYMB-LD27.1  TBN  MONTEREY, CA
KLFB-LD21.1  IND  SALINAS, CA

Now realize that of these 6-7 stations, three of them are in Spanish.
