RE: Now that we have switched over, I've lost CBS OTA

Lots of reasons. Some companies thought they could save $$ by drastically reducing transmitted power and still get the same coverage because it's DIGITAL. (Why am I not surprised people in *TV* might think such a thing? LOL They believe too much of their own advertising crapola.) Others had a lower power mandated by the FCC to prevent interference on their new channel assignment.

Other than improving your antenna etc., most people say to wait a year or two until the NEW system is shaken out in the real world. Things like power increases approved by the FCC. You can bet this is a big priority for companies since advertising revenue is based on coverage.
