I am in Vienna, VA. and can't get channels 7 and 9. I have an Antennas
Direct model DB2 external antenna (UHF) as well as an amplified UHF/VHF
rabbit ear antenna, plus several non-amplified ones. None provides any
picture at all on the two channels.
I was aware but paid little attention to
I don't care about television. But I am counting on you guys to solve
the reception issues for OTA digital TV before OTA digital radio becomes
more common. I live in western Loudoun county VA, so have not yet put
up the money for a receiver to see if I can receive digital radio.
Thank you,
From what I've been reading and hearing from people who bought one,
digital radio is the least attractive choice. I have asked several
people who have both satellite and OTA digital and they told me they
stopped using the OTA digital because the signal was so unreliable.
YMMV.

Thanks for the response, Tom. I am asking now, while there are still
plenty of analogue radio broadcasts because it would appear to be the
next band of spectrum the FCC can harvest, that analogue radio will
convert someday. Anyone know differently? Will I be stuck with
satellite radio out in

HD radio on AM
This seems unlikely, at least at this time. Compared to TV, the
frequencies used by the present broadcast radio stations is tiny, so
there's no great advantage to going digital.
More likely what will happen is some sort of 4G or Wimax solution. But
until cars start coming with internet-only

Good story, but it did not help. I get 7 but not 9. If this were true
and I had an antenna problem I would get neither station.

It's interesting to note that at the end of each stations help page,
you are to contact either 1-888-CALL-FCC or
http://www.dtvanswers.com; if none of the answers help. The stations
are making it quite clear that it's not their problem and probably
won't do anything else to solve the problem.

You do have an antenna problem. Either your antenna is not aimed to
pick up one of the stations or alternatively your antenna can't deliver
enough signal to produce

He must not read this list, because I posted a very thorough
explanation of this one or two years ago.

Of course he dose not.
Why should we share our secret knowledge with the outsiders. BEG :-)
