I must admit that I too am becoming fond of no ghosting, no interference, no fuzziness, and more channels to choose from.

It seems like every local channel has at least one other channel. My PBS station has three channels!

I haven't run into the signal dropping as much, but maybe that's cos I live fairly close to the transmitters, and I built myself a pretty good antenna.

EDIT: Here's a picture of my antenna. It's made from wood, coat hangers, and electrical wire, and the leads were directly soldered to a piece of coax cable. It works great for digital reception. If anybody tells you that you need a fancy digital certified antenna, you can tell em to take a hike.



The only modifications I plan on making are painting it, and when I get enough cable, mounting it on my roof. As of right now, it stands 6 feet off the ground, and has brick walls on two sides of it, yet it still brings in my local digital channels at full strength.
