Why not just an antenna in the tree with perhaps a solar powered signal booster. That seems simpler and more reliable to me. But really, Keith Watson at GA Tech who is on the MUCH list is probably your go to guy for this project. Good luck, I live in a bit of a hole myself and would love to hear what you wind up with and how well it works.<div>

almost to TV reception here (except FOX5). So I'm thinking of Linux<br>

put all this on the tree up on the hill :) Battery powered + solar<br>
panel for charging. So the box should have web interface for channel<br>

(UDP or HTTP). What do you guys think. I know there is many<br>
alternatives but sound like interesting project.<br>
