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.
Most people don't get this point. 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.

That is not really the case. What will happen in Feb is some stations change channels and/or transmit power. In general cochannel and overload interference will be reduced. Even even after loosing channels 52-69 there will likely be less stations in a give market and digital is more efficient requiring less transmit power. This will be a boon to urban viewers close to transmitter that are having overload problems today.
