I use rabbit ears and a converter. I get three channels that can't be watched because while clear, it freezes up every 3 to 5 seconds and sounds just as bad. Also lines/boxes appear and constant "weak signal" box.

Hmm? The quality of signals I receive is simply fantastic. Much better than analog cable. Signals at the very fringe of reception can pixellate but that doesn't happen very often.

Sounds like you have a problem that can be overcome with a little experimenting.

I love DTV/HDTV.

Would you offer a few tech tips?

We have a channel master antenna and a 29 dB amp, reception is iffy. It is on top of a 20’ tall pole. We have trees (maybe 50’ tall) between the antenna and the horizon, some as close as 60’ away, some a couple of hundred feet away.

Yep, I experimented with the OFF button. Nice black screen, kinda like it :-)
