It’s funny that people in Erie can’t get WSEE because I live in the furthest reaches of the county and get WSEE at 100% signal strength. I don’t get that with any other channel, mid-70’s at best.

WSEE is a problem for me at times as well and I expect WICU DT 12 to be a problem as well. Both WJET and WFXP are rock solid in the sticks with an outdoor antenna. WQLN is pretty good most of the time though there will be interference issues in the warmer months with two other DT 50 channels out of Akron and Pittsburgh. However, I decided not to pay for Erie locals any longer through Dish since I can get every major and minor OTA network with my antenna configuration.

OTA signals from WJET do tend to break-up at times, depending on where in the room you are standing. WSEE, sadly, remains a no-show. I have cable and am therefore unaffected, but everyone I know that relies on over-the-air transmissions and bought the converter box remains unable to receive any of 35’s signals in and around Erie. The link that John posted above has comments from other consumers who also cannot pick-up WSEE.

I’ve heard complaints about WJET not reaching downtown Erie. Check this forum: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=16523129#post16523129
