HD Signal Strength for Geographical Position
My DTV install will be on east coast, per these coordinatesLatitude: 41.3172°
Longitude: -72.6315°
What kind of signal strengths should I expect for the HD channels? Mid-90's ? (assuming a normal install without amps, antenna about 50 feet from 4 way splitter, good line of sight) Do customers in the direct center of the US get bettter signal strength?

Signals on 99c/103ca/103cb should be from acceptable (high 80s) to very good (mid-90s). You can't really get better than that (although your local HD spotbeams, that will be one or two transponders somewhere on 99s or 103s, will probably be 100 or close to it). Signals are pretty well the same across the U.S.

don't worry about the signal strength. DTV already took care of this. the receivers have a built in test. this test, pretty strict by the way, would not allow the technician to activate the receivers without having a perfect or near perfect signal strength..
