Probably true for most folks. Not here in Laconia. When they did the analog to digital switch, I had to buy a digital converter and a 'digital' antenna and I lost the WMUR channel. I still get WMTW out of Maine. And the Boston channels. WMUR has to boost their signal to get a decent reception in Laconia. An email to FCC was no help.

I subscribed to Metrocast and the reception is marginal. Metrocast blamed the current cable in the house. I need to hire an electrician to replace the cable. Expensive. I went back to antenna.

One of my neighbors have DTV through Fairpoint. He has excellent HDTV reception. I was thinking of doing the DTV route now that I have HDTV.
