But increasingly it is local broadcasters, not multichannel operators, that are degrading their hi-def picture quality.

Thanks LVD.

At this house, the roof aerial has been gone for four years or so, but had not been in use for about two decades (at least) before that, because I had cable for about ten years, and then analog broadcast signals using rabbit years and whatever. I'm in the city of Grand Rapids, and do not receive digital channels 8 (NBC, there should be three of them), digital channels 13 (ABC, should be two of them), both of which are local, or digital channels 3 (should be two of them) which is broadcast out of Kalamazoo. I get 17 (Fox, one channel?) very strong, and 35 (PBS, four channels) usually pretty well.

Prior to the digital-only changeover, I used to get digital 8 usually, sometimes blocky, and digital 13 intermittently. The local broadcasters seem to be committing suicide around here. Gotta be Obama's fault.
