Unfortunately, real world experience is the opposite. While I hear some garble from the analog CH 2 in Detroit when I'm up there, the DTV CH 2 here in Cleveland tears the CRAP out of my SyntorX. >30dB of desense anywhere within 15-20 mi of the transmitter is standard. The problem is that 1)it is broadband noise, and 2) because of that, there is a near infinite number of intermod products, rather than instantaneous 'blurbs' of noise caused by analog modulation. The intermod products get produced just about everywhere, most every metal-to-metal junction within miles.
