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. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
