TV Query on the FCC website works pretty well. You might get the whole 
state, but if you want a narrower result, I think you can do a mileage 
radius search with any given set of coordinates.

Most of the listings have the final channel, but the power and facilities 
are mostly in transition. The only DTV station at full facilities, that I 
see in the Hartford-Spfld area, is WFSB's permanent DTV on Ch33 with 
1,000,000 watts. DTV class power limit is 20% of Analog. Yes, Channel 3 goes 
to Channel 33, with 2-3's maybe it's twice as good!! <grin>

As it stands , right now, a good comparison for coverage might be a reciever 
in Central Mass, Eastern CT or RI comparing analog channels 22, Springfield, 
and/or 30, Hartford to Digital channel 33 in Hartford. The 3 stations are 
all at different sites on the west side of the CT river valley, but if you 
have a good look to the west from Eastern New England, ( and can null out 
dtv 30 in Boston) give it a try!
