Things are going to get worse rather than better. Any receiver near a DTV transmitter will be severly desensed. The DTV signal is a solid 6 MHZ wide blob of RF. Any of the usual suspects such as rusty bolts, fencing overlaps, etc will be producing multiple mixes. A group locally had a Micor conversion 220 repeater located adjacent to a DTV Channel 12 site. No amount of filtering was able to solve the problem. Moving the unit to another location cleared up the problems.
