Hello K,
Thanks for your opinion! I'm hoping to receive more opinions here at the board just like yours, we get plenty of .gov visitors here and at http://www.tvconversionhelp.com, so make your voices heard!

Anyway,
You may want to try purchasing a signal booster for improving reception. I tried one on my set up, and it didn't help at all, but I think in your case, you have a better chance of success since your antenna is located on your roof. A signal booster goes inline, and it basically boosts the strength with a signal amplifier to your converter box. Pricing for a booster can run between $10-$50 depending on the amount of strength/boost you need.

Worst case scenario, you may want to have an antenna technician come out ($50/hour) to troubleshoot for you. In most instances, it shouldn't take more than an hour to modify your setup.



In regards to your comment:

Is the intent to force everyone to pay for cable or satellite reception?
If you get a chance, check out this story http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,331040,00.html "Cable Companies Stand to Gain From Digital-TV Confusion" Unfortunately, I think you're absolutely correct.
