[QUOTE=&quot;FOX TV, post: 33120, member: 4493&quot;]Fcc should be getting part of the blameIt seems that everyone who is critical of Antennas Direct or Clear Stream needs to look at a little history of the transition itself. If the FCC had done the right thing and designated DTV in the UHF band only, we would not be seeing all of these reception issues, and this blog about VHF versus UHF and marketing strategy would have no basis in point.Instead, they chose to bow down to pressure and let the broadcast industry cry about loosing the VHF channels, even though VHF DTV was never tested thoroughly enough to prove its validity in DTV use, and now some stations (and possibly some antenna manufacturers) are paying the price for this problem.Looking at how long it takes to develop a product and a marketing strategy, and trying to decipher the FCC's final band plan my have contributed to the marketing claims used by Clear Stream, as DTV was originally supposed to be all UHF.Maybe this could also be the reasoning behind all of the DTV Answers promos that showed the &quot;MAGIC BUNNY EARS&quot;, and associated the &quot;MAGIC BUNNY EARS&quot; delusional concept as a viable antenna alternative for DTV to the general public. Just because an RF signal contains digital data doesn't change the basic RF reception characteristics of that signal.
