Both stations give no signal unless you are forunate to have a digital TV set. What gives? We have even had several 'electronics' experts in who are equally dumbfounded as to what is happening in this area.

Why? i dont really watch tv anymore and my DVD player broke awhile ago-watch movies on the computer. Still, it bothers me not to have a signal-if only for the news in an emergency. I just resent how expensive all the new , better crap is- and I dont like the idea of another box just for converting. Uh oh- I fear I may have a case of early onset curmudgeon.
