Re: Broadcast Digital TV in Michigan
I have a HD set and am picking up the OTA signals with an indoor antenna. Mine has an amplifier on it.
The only stations that I can get in digital are 2, 4, 7, 20, 50, 56 and 62. If you include analog I can also get 9 (CBC, poorly), 11 and 13 (Toledo, very weak), 18 (weak), 24 (Toledo fairly well), 28 (Flint, fair), 30 (Toledo, fair), 31 (good), 32 (Canada, fair), 33 (only sometimes and very poorly), 36 (Toledo, fair), 38 (fair), and 66 (poorly, if at all).
I suspect that all of the poor and most of the fair signals will be unavailable once they are converted to digital. Like you said, digital either works or it doesn't. I think digital needs a stronger transmitter than analog in order to get a usable signal to cover the same distance.
