[QUOTE="Piggie, post: 32258, member: 2941"]Well they tried leading up to the transition. The color system. Someone covered this already. It was to take into account obstacles, hills, mountains, elevation changes. This was tied to AntennaWeb. Several things failed. 1) Antenna Web was way to conservative. Some speculated this was done to sell bigger antennas. I disagree. Most people found they had to put an imaginary 100 ft antenna to just see what was probably possible at 20 to 30 ft. How many thousands didn't know this that tried to use it that gave up right there not seeing that many signals? 2) The antenna manufactures didn't comply as well as they should have complied. And even companies like Winegard soon built their own systems to find the correct antenna. But the idea originally as go to AntennaWeb, then you could go online or to the store and buy the right antenna. It failed due a lack of common sense, any brains at all in my opinion, corporate ineptness and just ************ poor planning, cooperation and compliance. So it was tried, failed. Mileage was reinstated if it ever died, and we say 100 mile pieces of crap sold on E-Bay.[/QUOTE]
