Have you checked over at tvfool to see if they are going to turn up the power after the switchover? Many stations are now only putting out a low power DT signal but will turn it up after the switch over. Here one station will be going from 100 to 800. Which I am assuming will greatly effect the range of the digital signal.
Personally, if they are going to do additional tests, I hope they do it here in St. Louis. It is a larger market and I would suspect that there is significant portion of the market that is OTA. Besides, I want that power increase on the one station that I do not get in digital. | |

They assume because they aren't getting in good signals NOW that in Feb they will contimue to get poor signal strrength. The reason for the poor signals is that the stations are having to carry both digital AND analog signals. | |
