Well, wait a minute....1 megawatt of Analog Signal should have the same
coverage as say.....1 megawatt of Digital Power. I would also think that
coverage would be better, since 30-35 miles away an Analog signal displays
snow, but a Digital signal will be clear, as long as the TV can process the
Digital signal....
Am I wrong???

| Digital needs a lot of power because you cant get a poor digital picture.
