## Abstract

In response to petitions for rulemaking filed by the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC) and EchoStar Communications Corporation (Echostar) in connection with the Satellite Home Viewer Act, this Report and Order amends the Commission's rules to provide a procedure for measuring television signal strength at an individual location, such as a household. The Report and Order also endorses a model to predict signal intensity at individual households. The intended effect is to better identify those households that are ``unserved,'' for purposes of the SHVA.
