  1. Comment - FCC tells 25% of requesting TV stations they can't switch on 2/17

    Digital may have more effective transmission per watt, but they are allowed by the FCC to use less watts. The total range of the broadcasts is less. In my area, I have a converter box- it gets no channels. None in digital at all, except for a few flickers on one station. I get 4-5 channels in analog. If you are getting so many channels, you are in or near a city. I am in a rural area - that is the difference. Digital works great for a very short distance, enough to cover a city.
