#1 does it for me, although the other 3 reasons are pretty good. There's so much traveling in the NBA the games should be on The Travel Channel. And what's a foul anymore? Anything or everything? or both?

Didn't see any blocking or break-up but I thought the PQ for the whole game was bad. Wish CBC out of Windsor would go digital, watched a little of the game on ch 9. The game announcers seem better.

More whining here. Got to agree with Carl. The fox additions will help keep me with dish, but for how long? The wife and I only watch about 20-25 channels but they are spread through the various packages. May get hard to justify the cost for what we watch. Just give me the channels I want to...

Well, as a lions fan the thing that upset me was they had the losing record at 15. At least they could of won the last game and then broken the record again next year. I saw a show on the NFL network about the 10 worst NFL teams in history. The lions didn't even make the list. Surely a 1-15 then...

I like watching hockey, especially playoff hockey. Even olympic hockey is fun to watch now that the pros play in them games. But the all star game? Whats that goat say? Nah, nah, nah. Go Red Wings!

I wouldn't say the playoffs on FOX look like @#&!*!. But here in the Detroit area NBC, CBS and ABC sports all do look better. This is OTA with a 211 and a 40" sony LCD.

Me too. And any "non premium" movie channel.

Have to agree with this. My 18 mo commitment was up this past summer, have been waiting to see if FNC shows up in HD. Guess I'll wait and see what happens in Jan/Feb, beside the price increase.

According to the info at the FCC they will both use the existing antennas. The transmitters are only mentioned as, as needed to obtain required E.R.P.

Looking at the FCC web site they are showing the same coverage maps for ch 7 &9 after the switch. Guess the FCC is hoping the better digital tuners are going to make up for the power loss. There were no applications from CH9 (WUSA) Asking for a power increase. Looks like it's going to be a wait...

Try using a preamp at the antenna or an amplified distribution amp like the Channel Master 3044.

You can go to tvfool TV Fool - TV Signal Locater and enter your address and you can find out before and post transition transmit power and signal levels at your address. Sure there may be more changes coming, but you could also go to the FCC TV Query TV Query - TV Technical Information - Video...

I did buy one of them to see how bad it was and it is as delivered. Mine came from a different vendor and luckily only cost 29.95 with free 3 day shipping. Guess the guy was trying to get rid of them. So anyway it's a bit of a pia to assemble. In looking at it, the dual folded dipole drivers are...

Several "D" mobile systems have been installed in aircraft for a few years now. Think they are showing up in boats now too. If someone can afford to buy it and a company can make money installing it is reason to exist. Maybe this will be mobile for the masses. If there's a market for it.

If you can't or won't position the 4221 to get a better ch 12 sig than try this, http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_display.asp?PROD=Y5-7-13 and combine it with the 4221. Overall you'll have smaller antenna and more upper vhf gain than with a 3016
