The little thing they forgot to tell people was that the coverage area with
digital is much smaller than analog. So after the dropdead date, most al
stations in the US had to go out and buy newer higher powered transmitters
and antennas to come close to before. One of our local stations is on two
transmitters on two different channels, because the FCC realized how bad
things were screwed up. But AG's cellphone buddies got more bandwidth.
Be glad you live close enough to the transmitter. And pray that we don't
have to go digital on FM, cause that will lower coverage areas too, and
screw up sound quality .

I hope your conversion to digital radio goes better than our digital TV
conversion.
I'm interested in what went wrong for you. We get as many or more OTA TV
stations as before the conversion, and the
picture and sound quality is very much better.
We actually watch a mix, all time delayed. Our DVR can record two satellite
and one OTA broadcast at once. The OTA
quality is a bit better, as there is not so much compression, but really,
for watching TV programs, they are all great.
There is also quite a bit of material available we find worth watching that
isn't available OTA, and some not on
satellite/cable, either, so Netflix, Hulu+ and Amazon all figure in our mix.
Of course, even with all those options, sometimes there's nothing on that we
want to watch. :-)
