Just a reminder that you may have to run the "scan for all channels"
several times. Did so yesterday, but then lost some and had to run again
today. Seems the broadcasters a shifting frequencies at different times.
(And relocating from where they were originally.)

Nobody around here can get all the channels they had with analog. None
of my friends have more than one or two channels even friends who live
much closer to the broadcast towers. In case you haven't noticed, fire
still works. Our TVs don't. Even friends with digital TVs--we have
two--get few channels even with new antennae. I'm so excite!! I got
ONE secondary digital channel today!! And NOTHING else.
Sure looks like the people who did the survey found an area with good
reception and asked those folks. The hell with the rest of us who have
almost nothing now. Of course the National Association of Broadcasters
would say good things about DTV. DUH.
'Fire' adheres to the 'standards' set forth in the laws of
Thermodynamics. DTV standards aren't sufficient to provide
over-the-air broadcasting, except where the NAB does their limited
polling. Your idea of broken is bizarre, considering the replacement
is much worse, and the excess bandwidth is being sold instead of
leased, denying taxpayers revenue that our gummint needs, and has
received before the sales. Bad standards, bad implementation.
