I wonder if your govco has enough left after dubya has had his way to even
commission a study for repair let alone an actual fix ?
Digital either works or it don't , we all know that so why do some find it so
hard to understand ?

Hey, I checked and found the problem
Here, the value of a '1' is really
0.9985
and '0' = 0.0015
Digital' is not true digital at all, but the
creators of the system said 'Close enough, those rubes in the flatlands of IL
will never notice!'
Let's get 'da gubmint' involved in fixing this, I'm
sure it can be corrected for only $ 150,000,000,000 or
so...............

Maybe your digital is less versatile than our here in Au ?
I live
a long way from the tx site and experience little degredation with my nice
shiny new set top box and antenna .
Or maybe your analogue setup
simply doesn't work well on the wrong frequencies ?

I thought The Almighty and Everlasting Digital
Signal (Praise Be To Its Bits Eternally, Ignore That Pixellating Behind
The Curtain ! ) was going to cure all the supposed ills of that nasty old
NTSC demon
Can it be that ONCE AGAIN, we were fed a crap
sandwich by the NATVB and the FCC ?
PLEASE..tell me it ain't so !

This is going to be a bigger problem than many stations
may have
anticipated. A friend of mine has an all-channel antenna on a
rotor and can
get 20 analog stations. He purchased a converter to see
what he could get in
digital. He can only get four, and three of those
pixilate quite badly.
Almost everything has gone to UHF here. My area is
in the fringe of two
markets. UHF doesn't work as well in the hills. I
doubt translators will be
implemented -- too much
money.
