The preamplifier I have improves the DTV reception despite the fact that it's a Radio Shack model (I'd had it kicking around for several years, new in the package).
For what it's worth, every time the picture or sound breaks up, my wife says "I hate this new TV." She could watch an analog picture way down in the snow and be perfectly happy. I hate a snowy picture, but must admit the digital artifacts are annoying too.
