It will, apparently, be less of a problem once the digital transmitters become more high powered (right now they tend to be low power transmitters, but they should switch once switch over happens, whenever that ends up being).dbrodbeckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09021807925215121830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449698792503050487.post-48444579166702806912009-02-03T15:56:00.000-05:002009-02-03T15:56:00.000-05:00The biggest problem of the digital conversion, to ...The biggest problem of the digital conversion, to me, is that with analog tv, someone with weak over-the-air reception could still "watch" tv, snow-and-shadow filled though it might be.
