transmission stutters, freezes, goes blocky, loses sound, and dies =
completely for minutes at a time.=20
And this is with an outdoor seven foot diameter UHF parabolic reflector =
antenna 28 feet in the air with a mast mounted preamp connected to an =

Craig Birkmaier remarked: <Well, we do agree that NTSC works better than
ATSC.>

No, we do not agree at all.  I get solid, beautiful HD and SD pix via =
ATSC,
on two receivers at my home.  Even some that I wouldn't expect, that are
90deg. Off-axis and through a large tree covered hill.  Even the SD pix =
are
crisper, have better color depth than NTSC from the same stations.

What I meant was ATSC doesn't work as well as NTSC for anyone who does =
not
want to shell out for a new TV or a $250 converter.
