I am not sure where to post my question about the TV change over in Feb. 09.
I know there are alot of smart people in this NG. Instead of purchasing the
DTV converter, we opted to purchase new HD TV's. They are Sanyo and very
nice with speakers on the sides. These TV's are in the rooms that had 13"
antena hookups. Our main TV's are DirecTV and there will be no problems
with the switch over. The new TV's receive both Analog and Digital
transmissions. I have noticed that when viewing the Digital channels
sometime have interference and show pixels and sometimes the signal is lost.
The interference does not occur with the Analog channels, but the reception
on those is not as clear as the Digital channels. I am wondering if the
reception of Digital could be related to our outside antena or maybe is it
the area we live..DFW with maybe poor transmission?
TIA

so you can do a bit of planning. Maybe you can figure out where
the transmitters are located, and their distance from you ?

ALSO, you might explore antenna designs, if your outside unit was for analog
only, how is it rated for tomorrows digital ???

If your antenna was receiving analogue signals clearly
then it should be fine for digital.
Drop outs and some pixellation do occur more
frequently with digital, and the frequency of these
can be due to a number of things.
Some TV stations have a more consistent broadcast
signal, the reception can be poorer in some areas, it
can be effected by the digital decoder, the cabling in
the house, local factors such as power lines etc.
The occasional pixellation is to be expected, this is
the result of a temporary interruption to the signal,
but a complete loss of signal is something you should
investigate further.

I can live with it as the TV's are not in the main viewing rooms.
Thanks.

Isn't there a Dallas somewhere in Scotland?..

All sounds like a poor aerial signal somewhere..
