Now that it's over, has the "digital conversion" in the US affected you in any way, positive or negative?

1 Answer

Answer :

It really has not benefited me at all. If anything, it has made things worse. I do not recieve several of the channels as I did prior the switch, and several of the other stations are fuzzy or have lost sound. Maybe I should just give it a few more days. Hopefully it will work itself out.
