Criteria used for entries in DTV DX Records

The DXer must receive PSIP ID data (calls, station name, remapped channel), video, or both. These are not considered legitimate logs for the purpose of this page: (1) The presence of snow on an analog TV screen; (2) A DTV signal indicated on a STB signal meter or light, scanner, or communications receiver.

Any TV DXer who has received DTV DX in any of the categories above qualifies to be on this page. I am sorry, but if you sent me your logs between February 2011 and April 2011 the e-mails were lost due to problems with Lycos Mail. Now send logs to this email address: doglethorpe@yahoo.com. Put "DTV Records" in the subject line.
