Huh? Maybe you're saying this, but out local CH 2 is DTV CH 25, but
after the CH 25 signal is found, it is entered as CH 2 again even though
the RF is on CH 25.
I agree with CHL - two signals on CH 7 (or any channel) should have the
same coverage from the same antenna either analog or digital.

receiver is crud.

stations are changing the RF channel for their broadcast. Many are changing
tower locations and antenna elevations as well. These stations decided to
keep this information essentially to themselves. Their feeling was th
