Mark makes an excellent point. MOST people can make 8VSB work in a
fixed location, if they are willing to install an antenna system that
deals with local market conditions.
Not many people seem interested in doing this. I suspect it has
something to do with the limited amount of programming one can get
when they go to this effort. I am tempted to get a receiver so that i
can get the local ABC and Fox stations in HD...but I suspect they
will be available on my cable system soon, so why bother?
