Just a bit more for the mix:  my mother lives in a retirement community.  An 
informal small sample survey:  everyone I talked to was enduring terrible 
trouble receiving more than 4-5 channels (of sometimes irrelevant content for 
them), whether or not they have a dtv.  Their facility attributes poor 
reception to robust walls and surrounding interference from trees.  They advise 
cable.  My respondants' opinions, no surprise, were:  wasn't broke; now it is; 
damned if I'm going to pay for cable.  Most of these people have television as 
their window to life beyond the circumscription of old age, old bones.  Add to 
that the complexity of dealing with converter box adjustments, there seems a 
degree of unfair play, here.  Didn't Tony say something to the effect that 
there will be microwave repeater towers to resolve all of this?  Why wasn't 
that done before we jumped?

 I get a good signal at home. No signal at the office.
