Reply #30: My Mother Has Two TV's Hooked Up To Digital......

[global1]

one in her living room and the other in the kitchen. She doesn't have a roof top antenna - so I had to purchase two digital antenna - the flat looking type. Her reception leaves a lot to be desired. Constant pixilization and no signals. One might work good - the other in the other room is out. I continually have to go over and re-scan her digital boxes - because she loses stations. She is totally frustrated but won't give in to going to cable or letting me buy it for her.

She did point out to me however, that the commercials seem to always be clear and loud. No pixilization or loss of signal when they are on. I didn't believe her at first until I spent an evening with her and it proved out to be true.

My guess is that this is part of the plan to get everyone to ultimately switch to pay TV.

Get the public frustrated enough about it and they will give in.

It is interesting to note that since the digital transformation - no media outlet or newspaper has done and evaluation of people's feelings about digital. Seems to me that they don't want the masses to know that this changeover is very problematic.
