What I may look into is pulling the guts out of a DTV converter box and stuffing them inside a smaller screen TV, if space permits. I'd like to do something like that to my 3.5" 30+ year old Panasonic (the current "emergency" TV); but, I don't think that would work. A 12" set would be the only thing I might could do that to.
Another channel that's virtually a "no go" now is channel 34 (CW) out of, IIRC, Magee, MS. When they were analog, I could get them on most any given TV at any given time of day with an indoor antenna. The quality was never good; but, watchable. With the digital signal, all I usually get is "weak signal" on that channel while the signal meter hovers around 10-15 %. One time, I held the antenna up in the air and got the signal up to around 25%, enough to give me a severly pixilated image. An outdoor antenna may or may not help the situation.
Of course, this is not a big deal right now since I have cable. May not have it for very long if Comcast does not get their act together concerning the internet. I've fired them once and am not above doing it again. Once I hooked my Sister and Brother-in-law up to a DTV box and he saw that he could get 7-8 clear channels, he said he'd never go back to pay TV again.
