		<description>&quot;since old-style analog antennas don&#039;t do a particularly good job.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wow, your creditability has just dropped 100%. There is no such thing as a digital antenna. There are UHF and VHF antennas. Digital 8-VSB covers both regions. Most of the digital stations are in UHF band because the VHF band was fairly full in most regions. So some people need to add a UHF antenna to get digital stations (If they didn&#039;t already have one) BUT even after the transition some of the stations will be in (some are moving that day back to) the VHF band so a so-called HDTV antenna (how they market UHF antenna&#039;s these days) won&#039;t cover that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man the media is so-confused and fact less.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>Some viewers will also need to set up new or enhanced antennas to pull in DTV signals, since old-style analog antennas don&#039;t do a particularly good job. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To me this is the most important reason that putting off the transition is a good idea. I got a converter box last summer, as soon as I could find one in a local store - one of my coupons expired before any boxes were available locally, but fortunately I didn&#039;t ask for both at the same time. Since then I have been trying to get a reliable signal. With the best indoor antenna I have been able to find locally, which rotates by remote and amplifies by up to 22 db, and an additional amplifier of up to 24 db before the converter box, I can get digital signals on 4 out of the 5 stations I used to get well on analog better than 80 % of the time and the 5th station almost 50% of the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have researched the signal directions and strength and antennas, but I can use the extra four months to try to get something better, and I am at least somewhat knowledgeable and motivated and aware. Many neighbors are less prepared, because they don&#039;t understand, not because they aren&#039;t trying.</description>
