Digital tv is a mystery. First- the LOCAL channels are usually ‘no or weak signal’, while Telemundo and AlJazeera news are always perfect.
Second-WHY is an ‘improvement’ worse than old time analog tv? And why did analog need to be ‘freed up’- for what?
TV worked fine since it’s birth, now you’re lucky to see an un-pixelated channel. Miserable- usually not worth watching- and its always the program you want most to see that is screwy.

And——question— when free digital tv is obsolete, will we all be FORCED to pay for tv or do without? Another way for the government to control the mass media.

If i'm not mistaken....and i very well could be, the reason for the switch was to make more bandwidth available for wi-fi & cellphones.
