I just spoke to one of the local TV station's engineers about our intermittent OTA reception, who said that any UHF (read most HD channels), transmission will be more problematic than a VHF signal. So problematic that two stations that I know of in my area are going back to their original VHF channel assignment, come Feb. '09, which should improve reception tremendously.

I told him that I could also just put in an antenna and a switch and get
the channels OTA.
Getting a digital TV tripled the OTA programming I was getting. Any
thoughts about paying for cable quickly vanished.

However I did notice a seasonal variation in reception. My reception is
considerably better when there are no leaves on the trees. We'll see if
getting an outside antenna helps.
