As I wrote, this is not my strongest channel feeding into the tuner. In fact it's about in the middle of the group.

The general problems with ATSC have to do with too much RF in high RF environments.

IF you can receive the ATSC transmitted bits perfectly, you can reconstruct the MPEG video stream at the same level of accuracy, as a decoder that is connected to the output of the encoder ( i.e. NO CHANNEL ERRORS).What ATSC signal conditions, other than multi-path errors, would cause some receivers to give an intermittent "Loss of Signal" indication (might be loss of sync) where inserting 21 dB of attenuation in the antenna connection corrects the problem? One channel in my area is such a case. It is not the strongest or weakest channel nor is there any indication of multi-path errors on analog channels (not adjacent) either side of the problem child . In fact one of the analogs is transmitted from the same tower as the DT channel.
