[opendtv] Re: ATSC experience

This brings to mind a similar experience I've had in the past, but never 
really thought to mention.  When I had my store, my tiny outdoor Terk yagi - 
which was pointing straight at a metal hydro tower, which was in front of a 
mid-rise apartment building - picked up Buffalo PBS best, but often times 
during inclement weather, the main HD channel would fall to pieces, while 
that station's SD sub-channels would be largely unaffected.  Before you 
mentioned this, I suppose I thought a phenomenon like this would be largely 
known, but perhpas not?

BTW...neither that channel's analog signal, nor any other Buffalo station's 
analog signal were even remotely watchable with the same antenna.
