I have 2 LCD TV's & 2 old TV's that only provide analog programming. All are connected to the same roof antenna.

We frequently have trouble with the digital reception on our LCD,TV's & the old one for which I installed a digital converter box. The picture breaks up, shows weak, or no signal. If I switch to analog the recption is fine.

My question is: what happens when stations quit transmitting analog signals? Is there a plan to increase signal power for digital programming or will we still continue to loss the picture and be without the back up analog programming?

What is the future to bring with this [so called] better quality digital transmission? Is the intent to force everyone to pay for cable or satellite reception? Digital transmission is certainly not better than analog as it is today. Would appreciate any information you may have regarding what can be expected for future television viewing.
