Not sure why, but very frustrating as I thought, with the big "transition," that while no new channels would be added, at least I would be able to see the channels that i had before?!

Am I issing something or is this whoioe FCC switch a FUBAR operation?!
The FUBAR was that some of the stations switched from UHF to VHF, and underestimated the amount of broadcast power needed to send signals to their viewers. Have you done a TV Fool plot yet? How far is AC and CBS from your house?
