I'm moving to Ruskin next week. Where I am currently, in Gainesville, I'm able to pick up ~10 TV channels with my antenna. Should I expect similar results in Ruskin, or worse since I'm 30 min south of Tampa?

Thanks for any help.

You should be able to get the same amount of channels in Ruskin. I'm not sure where the stations' antennas are located, but I don't think that will be much of a problem.

I typed in Ruskin, FL and it says you should be able to get all of the Bay Area's channels. DTV Reception Map

Moved to the area today and got 35 channels with my antenna, including ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, several PBS channels, and a ton of Latin channels. Woohoo!

Watch TV through the internet instead.

I bought a digital antenna for my TV, you can get them anywhere now and cost as little as $20 for a decent one. It screws right into the TV's cable jack.
