Establishment of an Improved Model for Predicting the Broadcast Television Field Strength Received at Individual Locations

This document requests comment on a proposed prediction model for determining presumptively the ability of individual locations to receive over-the-air television signals broadcast by local television stations. The Commission believes this model will be a useful means for establishing the eligibility of individual households to receive the signals of television broadcast network stations through satellite carriers. The Commission is complying with new statutory requirements set forth in the Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999.
