I think I can... I think...
Well, it took me a little while since as with every other project, disruptions came up every 10 minutes, but it rocks!
I got 14 digital channels and I could barely get 4 with the rabbit ears. The fiance' thought I was a looser building that thing, but put her foot in her mouth when we were sitting on the couch surfing the high-def channels.
Sure does look redneck sitting up on top of the entertainment center, though. I'm proud of it, might leave it there for a while, but move it to the atic in a week or two.

according to what I heard on the news last night,the digital signal,will only travel 35 to forty miles,while the analog signal can be picked up from as much as 100 miles away.So wher does that leave people like me that are farther out? It sound like a way to get more people to shell out for satelite,and all know what will happen next they will start raiseing their rates. I wouldn't mind paying so much but,it seems like there are more ads,on satelite than on regulur tv,and there is less and less new programing on satelite.So I get to pay for watching ads,and reruns for the twentyeth time.

That's why Tivo ROCKS!
If you KNOW you want something, you can record it.
If commercials drive you nuts, a 30 minute pause gives enough time to blast past all the commercials.
I can't imagine what we did before Tivo, although I did have a pretty cool RCA VCR that had "commercial skip" that worked quite well.

As with the Analog, if you are 100 miles away, you need a deep fringe antenna, a booster, and lots of height...........
Get a GOOD antenna and you should be fine.
