For those who live in, or close to, the US, this is pretty cool.
This FCC site lets you see what signal strength is like at any location, based on its proximity to transmitters in the area.
It's interesting to be able to quickly see what's available over the air in major US markets (like Los Angeles), and compare that to what some of us have in Canada (whether we be located in US border towns or not), for instance.
I can't see the CRTC publishing such a tool any time soon. In comparison, there are hardly any signals to map!
Explains why one of my friends just outside of Long Beach, CA has never paid for cable TV.
