We used to get CBS (WFSB 3) and ABC (WTNH 8) affiliates here in southern rural CT...in analog...not perfect, but it was watchable. My indoor homebrew DTV antenna doesn't pick them up (over 30 miles away); so TV is gone I suspect that we'll get signals again once the leaves are off the trees. I get below a signal level of 30 on a few stations, but not enough to get a steady picture. During this past winter (with the leaves off the trees) we got a couple of info-mercial type stations, and sometimes CPTV (Public TV).

Goodbye to TV

I think that the FCC seriously mis-calculated those of us that don't have or want rooftop antennas or cable/satellite TV. Something just doesn't seem right about having a signal (reliable) one day, and then it's gone the next. Also, digital signals are very sensitive to bad weather--not good for weather alerts.
