Especially once they see how easy they can get TV on a cell
phone and other mobile devices OTA. 8-VSB OTA has no chance ...
Just as I thought, Bob, with indoor antenna, she has abysmal reception
of all TV, be it analog or digital. That's why such a small number of
analog channels are even viewable, forget about acceptable, in a market
such as NYC.
In such circumstances, of course, digital TV would most likely be over
the cliff.
But again, instead of making high drama out of something obvious, what
would the European experience be, in similar circumstances?
Simple answer: call the antenna guy. He would install a proper antenna
way up top. That's what they do.
Over here, in such circumstances, almost everyone happily caves in and
buys cable. Even if the building once had a central antenna system, and
this one must have had, that internal coax plant was most likely usurped
by the cable company long ago.
