Those OTA HD channels aren't pumping out as much power as their analog predecessors, which may explain not being able to receive formerly clear channels. San Jose's KICU 36, which for 4 decades had a near-local signal quality in Sactown, is now MIA since its' digital conversion. Same same with Santa Rosa's KFTY 50, which also used to come in like proverbial local. All those Bay Area signals from Mount Sutro are rapidly fading away as well. Have noticed, via Samsung DTB-H260 converter, digital dx signals are a bit stronger, & more consistent, during summer time only. A Grass Valley Union photog said he gets fairly consistent digital signals from the Bay Area, but he also has 2,000 feet of foothill elevation opposed to a valley floor. Sadly, for Sactown Raider fans, those days of aiming antenna towards Cohassett Ridge to watch blacked-out home games from Chico are sadly in the past.
