My 1st and Hopefully Only Concession To Digital

I live in Brooklyn, and the interference on TV has been too much to bear.
So, I bought a Samsung doohickie to get digital broadcast on my Sony analog CRT TV.
Everything now comes in w/o interference, using the existing roof antenna. I still prefer analog reception [when it is good], as this is a bit like those new fluorescent lights- a little hard on the eyes. Once you get used to that, everything is nice.
Now for the bad parts:
I get all channels but PBS 13. This is with the antenna in any and all positions.
Not all channels have equal volume.
HD broadcasts yield a much clearer picture than plain 480i digital broadcasts [the adapter tells you the type of signal being sent], even though my TV is analog and only probably 480i.
When a broadcast analog signal is clean, it definitely is better than the 480i digital, but not as good as the HD broadcasts.
