Digital transition causes problems for some
The Associated Press published a story about the continuing problems some viewers have picking up signals following the June 12 switch to digital broadcasting.
The article quotes Austin’s Andy Couch:
Some TV viewers simply have the wrong antennas. For years, “HDTV” antennas were sold that brought in only UHF. Andy Couch, a Web developer in Austin, Texas, installed one in his attic and was happy with it until this summer, when the local Fox station, KTBC, disappeared from his set. It had moved its digital signal from UHF to VHF.
“Now I have to get a VHF antenna for just one channel? No thanks,” he said.
How has the digital switch affected you? Is your television experience vastly better, about the same or — like Andy — are you having problems?
