Latest problem with digital TV in DC area. Couldn't get local digital channels with a digital LCD TV using rabbit ears, so I got an outside digital antenna. Could get channels fine. Then when analog was shut off, digital channels 7 (WJLA) and 9 (WUSA) disappeared. According to the blog on the channel 7 website, the reason is that channels 7 & 9 decided to retain the old VHF carrier frequency (switching digital from UHF to VHF when analog was shut off) unlike all other local channels which use UHF. Thus, my new digital antenna can't receive VHF signals strongly enough, and the rabbit ears are not strong enough even if I manually switch antennas when I switch channels.

Any others here have seen channels 7 & 9 disappear? There are many complaining at the web site.
