When the transition first started, I ran into the guy that was doing the work, complained to him that one channel that we HAD had gone away. He thought that was impossible so he came out to the house and tried for over an hour to get that station. He didn't.

Long story cut short, we bought a new digital TV for the bedroom and that station popped right in, so I called him and let him know.

I guess I made a friend, since then every time an analog station has gone digital, he calls me and lets me know to rescan my TV channels. We only have two analog channels left, and one of those has no plan on going digital, low power and crappy location for his antennae, but it would be nice. It is the one that carries America One.

Photto, not to get any further off topic than already here, but I am curious if you think your new tv has a better tuner or has some other factor that allows it to receive the channel. If the tv's tuner is more sensitive I would be curious to the brand and model.
Thanks,
WT

Originally we were using a Magnavox tuner we got with the card mailed to us, probably the cheapest tuner out there, at the time of purchase they were (I think) about $20 from Wall*Mart and Sams Club, the new TV ($349 at Frys Electronics in Las Vegas) is a Sony 45" and I'm not sure of the model. And he couldn't get it with his set-up out in his truck, and I have no idea what digital TV he was using, he "played" out there for nearly an hour, and his boss had no idea what happened either.

We have a very large commercial tower with several antennae hanging from it about a block away (not LOS to the local TV towers), there was some concern that that may have been causing some sort of interference, but there was no proof, and he hasn't been out to re-test our location.
