Can anyone advise if the FCC will allow DTV broadcasters to increase DTV output power levels after the Feb 2009 cutover date ?
|
This is only a question that your local television stations can answer. You'll want to get in contact with them by email or phone and ask them. I haven't seen a lot of statistics on what the percentage of broadcast stations will up their broadcast power on February 17th.

Maybe the broadcasters here are simply using a low RF output level currently ? Or maybe they only transmit DTV on specific days ?
|
Any broadcast station that is outfitted to broadcast
dtv signals should be fully operational every day. I haven't seen anything from the web that's said otherwise.

Ahh! With all the clouds/rain you guys get, that's sure to make
dtv reception even tougher.
You've gone far beyond the simple fix/suggestions I've seen offered on the web. I would definitely suggest contacting some of your local television stations. I've seen instances where the station will actually send someone out to help you.
