Well, before I read your post, I suspected that I could change the aspect ratio with this Zenith. Now that you've pointed me to the Zoom button, the aspect ration problems are solved.

This has been a big step in the right direction. Depending on the broadcast itself, I can watch letterbox or full screen and the things that are supposed to be full screen are now really full screen.

The digital picture is really very nice. I am preferring it to analog, when available.

The rub remains reception. I have to mess with the antenna to pick up about half the channels. One channel barely comes in at all, unless I put the antenna up against a window, and even then it is marginal.

I tried your suggestion- no help. I've been hoping to hit a sweet spot, but after a lot of messing around, I am realizing the sweet spot varies with each channel. So today I plan to try an amplified antenna and see if that gets me there.

Once an antenna is reliably working, my own personal DTV conversion will be accomplished.

It's not all that easy. I can see a lot of dismayed people next February.
