I really enjoy the ATSC improvement from the outdated NTSC.
You got pixelation issues, get a better signal.
I use rabbit ears indoors with excellent results,
and enjoy all the subchannel offerings free OTA.


Oh, and forgot to mention that the changeover gave me the excuse to get a flat
screen TV with its fiber optic audio output which gave another excuse to get a
new AV receiver with TOSlink capability. Sure had to drop a few bucks but that's
why it's printed on such good paper, so it can change hands lots of times.. ;-) *

You and I are going to have to disagree. The new TV sets and digital
system, for all its bells and whistles, do not provide a greatly
improved view IMHO. Certainly not worth the trouble and expense. On
top of that, the greater selection of channels = greater selection of
crapola. TV has become a rare passtime in my house, and eventually I
can see it disappearing from my life. The world is full of better
things to do.
