It took them 10 years to figure this out this house wasn't serviceable?
NO. It was because the ongoing switch from analog channels to digital channels made that drop non-serviceable.

So digital is better how?

IF YOU GET the signal, it is better & clearer on digital. Digital is pretty much you get it or you don't. But if it is a weak signal, then analog will still work, even though the picture may not be very good.

Digital downside

said by DavePR See Profile :

Yup, digital is better for most people, but as this thread indicates, some users will be worse off.

This switch to digital is ALSO affecting over-the-air TV broadcast saturation. Some antenna users who were able to receive adequate analog signals will not be able to receive adequate digital signals after the change.

For example, see this:
