I got a good laugh out of them saying that the snowy picture was attributed to the tubes picking up electrical interference. You are probably right about them useing old sets to make politicians believe that it's the set causing the problem and not the signal. They could have also done it to push consumers to buy new "digital ready" TV's and dump their old analog "junk". I just remember my aunt had an RCA that was a little newer (still a tube set) than this one and hers had a great picture. A friend of mine recently bought an LCD set with built in ATSC tuner. He told me the digital reception was good when it worked. Other times, he said it would flicker, drop out, show artifacts, etc. He finally got fed up and got cable.
