FM Radio and Antenna TV Reception

To receive SPR's television signals you need a digital-to-analog TV set-top converter box or a digital television set plus a good TV antenna that's pointed toward the Bald Mt. Electronics Site.

For technical assistance tuning in our FM and TV translators view the "FM and TV Antenna Selection and Installation Guide" and or call the SPRTV Help Line at (970) 485-2188 and ask for Gary.

To learn more about the reception of FM and antenna TV signals, Summit County residents, second-home owners and residential property managers are encouraged to contact SPRTV by e-mail.  Please include your name, physical address, a telephone number where you can be reached, and reception issue.

Many factors contribute to how well one can receive over-the-air signals in Summit County.  Reception challenges may be quite localized.  Antenna type and location can be critical.  Read "FM and TV Propagation and Reception" to learn more

Occasionally one of our Summit County translator stations may temporarily go off the air.  This can be due to technical issues with the primary station’s signal, or SPRTV maintenance of our electronics or dedicated power line on Bald Mountain.

SPRTV’s television programming on VHF Channels 8 and 10 is high-quality standard definition.  Because standard definition rebroadcasting uses less bandwidth than high definition, we primarily rebroadcast in standard definition to provide more television channel options.  Now, SPRTV’s VHF Channel 12 TV translator does provide high-definition programming.  When television station KDVR, Denver is transmitting in high definition then the TV signal being rebroadcast from Bald Mountain is also high definition.
