Reply #49: I wouldn't say it was any better, but it's definitely a hassle.

My CBS and PBS stations seem to drop out more than anything else--I have to turn the antenna on to get them most days. Other than that, it's about the same. Got a lot more god channels, two weather stations, an extra PBS station which shows pretty much only reruns from the previous night (waste of money?) and a couple extra ION TV stations, one of which is a kids channel that I like to watch sometimes.

When the changeover first happened, the signals weren't very consistent (I'm in OKC) and there were a lot of weather-related issues. I thought we would lose signals during the blizzard we had on Christmas Eve, but I have to say I watched all day and I can't remember any problems at all, so I'm hopeful that we won't have problems during tornado season this year.

Overall, I would say it's okay, other than the outlay for the converter box and the antenna (almost $100). I still haven't bought a setup for the bedroom TV--I don't watch enough to justify it at this point.
