Actually over the two days of June 11 and 12, the analog transmitters of over the air broadcasters in the US, slowly but surely went off for the last time.
I already had a USDTV Hisesnse DB 2010 converter/tuner box, however I managed to lose the remote leaving it useless.
So….. I went to Best Buy and got an Apex converter box with analog pass through to address the situation.
I lost reception of two very good PBS affiliates because the DTV signals are effectively weaker, yielding a lower radius of coverage. Also, I am in close proximity to several trees which likely didnt help the situation.
I picked up one channel that runs weather radar quite a bit, so that was cool. However, no more Charlie Rose, No more McLaughlin Group and no more This Old House…. for me…. I will try playing with other antenna locations in hopes of getting at least one PBS channel back.
So, I think this was a needless transition where I spent money and lost 2 PBS affiliates. Some more CHANGE we didnt need.
