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.
