I am wanting to setup an media centre pc but I'm not sure if I can get all stations on digital tv in Nowra. Does anyone know if all the 5 main stations are available in digital tv in Nowra? Thanks.

Thanks very much for your reply. That's great to hear that all 5 stations are on-air down here. Do you know if the reception is very good here in Nowra?

Sorry, I've never measured the signal in the area personally, but there are others in the forum who may know.

The coverage map on the link below indicates Nowra is on the edge of the Main/Adequate coverage areas. Terrain, other buildings etc will of course need to be taken into consideration from your particular location. If you watch analogue from Illawarra, that would be a good indication that digital should be ok.

In Nowra itself you should be fine. With an amplified splitter I can receive all 5 stations from Knights Hill where I live at Cambewarra even though blocked by the mountain; the signal strength and quality is actually stronger than from N Nowra/ Cambewarra Mtn. Does tend to pixellate a little on windy days (such as yesterday).

Have a read of Alan H's pinned article "Get the best reception Illawarra" at the beginning of this subforum.

regards

KTF.

Oh, I'm actually in North Nowra. I'm in one of the highest parts of North Nowra though. My antenna is about 3 years old so I'm hoping it will work ok.
