Ive traveled back in time~~!!

No, not that, since a certain uh bill for a signal that comes from space was in someone else's name and I didnt feel like paying for it, I have journeyed back in time and am using over the air rabbit ears!

What a nightmare! When I first moved here and was waiting for the great signal from the sky to be installed I used rabbit ears and they were just fine for the local channels, but now they went digital and its a big mess. I got two of the digital converters when big Bro was giving them away, thinking they might come in handy camping in the RV or something, but let me tell you IT SUCKS! The digital signal when received is fantastic, but for reasons I dont understand, it will just blank out at times, resulting in the picture freezing, repeating itself and just plain going bye bye.
Hell, there is nothing on HBO or the Mets so Im only missing a few shows for (hopefully) a month until I get the great signal from the sky again, but I wonder how people who actually use over the air broadcasts like or hate digital? Yes, you get like 20 plus channels, Im sure more in bigger cities, but the glitches drive me to popping in a DVD, usually porn, but dont judge me, Im newly single and trying to enhance my social skills.

That pixels freezing, stopping an just disappearing is like the old fashioned "SNOW" have you tried to adjust the rabbit ears. The digital signal may be coming a different direction.
Just a suggestion....we turn our RV antenna when it does that.
Right now we are on the Campground cable..

Ive tried that, I put the box on signal strength, and I will get a locked in signal at 70, then it goes to zero and back to 70, like someone was turning a switch on and off.. weird..

oh well, network tv pretty much blows anyway emoticon

Here's a thought. Turn the TV off. Listen to the radio, or, perish the thought, read a book.

so you're that 1 person watching Leno nightly so that NBC can boldly claim that it wasn't a mistake, and that Jay produces a steady lead-in to the affiliates 11 o'clock news...
