Tom,

Around here one of the Low Powered Analog TV Stations when off the air
in February.

Another one of the low powered analog stations is still broadcasting.

The 2 Educational stations switched off their analog channel in March.
They had been dual broadcasting both Analog and Digital TV since before
February.

The Network stations here have been dual broadcasting since before
February also.

One thing I like about the Digital Convertor Box is that the Digital
Channel is broken up into several channels, so there is more to choose
from, that is, if there is anything fit to watch.

Sorry to hear that you tried the over the air route but failed because
you were out of the reception area for the local digital stations.

Sometimes when we are at someones house that has cable TV, we will watch
the Animal Planet channel there.
It would be nice if one of the local stations here would put Animal
Planet on one of their xx.x digital channels.   ;-)

When one of the local network channels started dual broadcasting they
put a channel for Weather only.
