Agghh - you would have to remind me of a constant aggravation: The way broadcast digital TV signals drop out, instead of merely degrading in quality a bit, if the received signal weakens a bit, or some noise intrudes. I suppose the benefit is that it deters me from watching TV.
What really suffered was telephone (cell). It used to be the static was a problem, but digital packeting makes sure that background noise makes a bloody hash of any communications from an environment that isn’t quiet, not to mention the burst of static at the termination of an analog connection at least saved you talking into a dead line...
