Hi,

I'm downloading 1080i HDTV from my $25 Sears Hardware antenna in the attic. I get the networks fine, but PBS channel 12.1 and the two other stations broadcasting digitally in my area sometimes come in fine, or not at all, OR IN-BETWEEN, WHICH IS LITERALLY IN BITS AND BYTES>>>>you may get a good picture for a while, and then it begins to break-up, or it may go out completely for a while and then come back.

I get pixelations and freeze frames and all kinds of digital distortions from these channels. I guess I'll have to go up in the attic and fool around with the antenna--aiming is critical with digital.
