I get TV signal from 3 directions. Works fine the analog way. One of those directions is a repeater UHF, so will remain analog - weaker signals so I don't always get tho.
The 'sideways' direction don't seem to work at all well in digital, too much reflection for digital - didn't bother for analog.
The 3rd direction is farthest away, but the most stations & used to be the best reception - tho on the fringe. We were told these would all be converted to UHF signals, so don't need a VHF antennea any more.
Turns out that is not true - one, if not 3, are returning to their VHF signal in February.
So, whatever antennea I picked out last summer - is pointless now. They didn't tell us that until early January tho.....
With half power, and analog repeater, and changing VHF policy, there really isn't anything I can do to prepare for the change, _until_ it happens, and figure out what they _actually_ do. Then I'll need to figure out what works to pull in the signal.
Living out on the prairie, I have a grove of tall trees, and so my reception changes from winter to summer. Tree leaves you know. I shall have to wait until late May to find out what _that_ does to my reception.
Back in November, several of the stations were not broadcasting in HD. Since November the UHF repeater has decided to go to digiatal with a couple of their channels after all, but not with most of them.... How could I prepare for that last summer?????
If some of you live in the shadow of the TV towers & everything is rosey, good for you. Don't assume whatever you are doing will work for everyone else.
Some of you are upgrading from a 20 dollar reciver to a 40 dollar one? Then you really don't have a clue - many of us have many times that invested in our current antennea systems.... Most folks I know are way beyond that to get TV, and now have to adapt to something that keeps changing. In the middle of winter!
I will, and fine, and won't be with your help obviously.
Sorry if I prefer the change to happen when I can work with it, rather than the middle of winter. Someone shoulda been on the ball & planned this a little better from the get go. Their timing was aweful. Someone sitting in an office, oblivious to what it is they are actually doing....
Parts of Europe chose a much better standard. The USA one has a lot od issue with distortion & relfection. Harder to get a useable signal with the USA version.
D'oh. You'd think perhaps the owners of Dish & Direct woulda created the whole thing - but even _they_ woulda done the switchover in summertime to help their installers do a better & cheaper job of putting up the dishes on everyones' houses......

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
