I should point out that the quoted message I posted is not mine, but that of someone on another technical list. The first line of my original post got deleted explaining this.

Signal strength claims to be high, but there is motion blocking that makes Max Headroom look normal. The audio glitches (mutes) every few minutes during a critical phrase (never during ad's).""DTV is a conspiracy to drive us to cable subscription."Heh. First off, this has nothing to do with ATSC. It is DTV they are bitching about, in general. I actually have noticed that when you're close to the edge, a lot of fast action always kills reception. When the action slows down, the image recovers. On the other hand, confound it, if you want to increase headroom, how about giving DTV power levels that are more sensible, compared with analog? Also, how about giving real, useful pointers on antenna types and antenna orientation, to all these folks that were making do with ugly, ghosty, grainy analog? I love my DTV. I'd never go back to grainy, ghosty, crappy color analog. Bert
