[QUOTE="dkreichen1968, post: 74224, member: 6026"]On the AVS forum I corresponded with one of the broadcast engineers for KRMA (Rocky Moutain PBS) and he said he had gone on several house calls and there were usually one of two problems involved. Either the people were still using a VHF antenna, or there was an "air gap" between the antenna and the TV. (I also saw a comment on their web site that was from a viewer who obviously still had a VHF only antenna.) It makes me wonder how many people just threw up their hands and called Dish. My parents never scanned their converter box for several months until I was able to visit and therefore didn't know they had extra channels. If their stations hadn't stayed on their original RF channels, and they had a converter that allowed them to manually type in the channels, they wouldn't have had TV. I think that now we're starting to see the tide turn the other way as a more informed public starts to rediscover OTA.[/QUOTE]
