I am almost certain, that once the switchover happens, digital power will be increased to a level about half the analog power, though I am not certain of this.

Another local is turning off their analog signal earlier than February 17, 2009: on December 1, the local ABC outlet goes DTV-only! Again, only an occasional on-air announcement sandwiched between the endless stream of new-car ads and not one single word about it on their website.

Jonathan, I sure hope you're right about that power increase. I use an amplified outdoor antenna with a rotator with my Maggotbox converter, and I have a hard time picking up anything further away than about 25 miles, especially with trees in full leaf. Now that it's autumn and the trees are bare, I'm getting about eight more channels!
