Have you run and compared your antenna system on www.antennaweb.org?
You can always call the station's engineering department for help.
They'll know if things will get better or if it's going to stay the

supposed to be as close to

First thing to check is signal strength. Most of these tuner boxes have a
signal strength meter function. The meter should give you a reading even
for stations that are too weak to lock in their digital signal.
Some stations have relocated their antennas as part of their digital TV
buildout.
Where did you get it?

Actually, digital signals are both, and actually a lot _more_
reliable. To those that can receive them, anyway. What worries me much

formats. i.e., it's stuck with mpeg2 compression, with no way to use
the superior mpeg4

I have had two of the Zenith DTT900 units for some time now,
I bought a Zenith from Circuit City and a Magnavox from WalMart. I like the
Zenith better. I don't use it all that much but I mostly got them to play
with and I got the $40 coupons from the feds at https://www.dtv2009.gov/
paid about $10 on top of that. I can't get Baltimore with rabbit ears
Keep in mind that the frequency the the stations are currently

our stations are currently broadcasting digital on UHF channels, but
some will transfer the digital transmissions back to the VHF frequency
in Feb. All this to say
