I like my tv with abit of static

But it is broke. The space required for digital is minute compared to analog.

When we talk "digital", we don't mean of sattelite quality when it goes out all the time. Digital is a LOT clearer than analog over distances, and doesn't go out during a storm like satellite. It just digital antenna.

If you have cable or satellite, you already have digital TV. Over the air antenna without a digital receiver is what will be affected.

do HD tvs look good from 10-20 ft away? Because that's the range of tv viewing in the living room

But I've already put in my request for the coupon (x2 https://www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx since they're free), so we'll just see what happens.

I wonder what will happen to the popularity of the UHF networks; wouldn't they be transmitting in identical(better than now) quality to the VHF networks after the switchover?

I just have cable. This digital crap is about as fun to watch as Y2K, minus the fun. On that note, I am filling my bathtub with water on January 7th, and reading my Al Gore bible before the world ends. Shrtly after.
