| Solution in search of a problem The mythical uninformed masses will do what they always do when the TV is on the blink:
Call the 4-year-old grandson / neighbor kid to press the TV/Video button, or reprogram the channels and set the time, or set up channel 3 to work on the DVD player.
The 4-year-old will inform them "You need to get cable, satellite, or a new TV."
The oldsters will be a bit startled, but will soon accept their fate, and go down to Radio Shack to buy a new TV.
Much much later, when they can't get the new set to receive the OTA channel that hosts Jeopardy, they'll find out they need a $400 powered antenna installed on the roof. But neither the 4-year-old, nor the the industry "education" campaign mentions that. |

After 3 tries, I still have yet to find an amplifier that works with DTV when some of the signals are strong.
