I'd been wondering if when the changeover finally occurs and stations are not splitting their signals, if the digital signals would then be stronger.
On the one PBS station here that already made the transition to full digital, the answer appears to be yes. AND they've got enough boost now to run 3 PBS digital feeds - Standard PBS, PBS Kids & PBS Knowledge. All come in clear as a bell more than 95% of the time. Not bad for a station that on analog signal was lucky if it came in fuzzy 50% of the time.
As I don't have cable & use an antenna, I'll let you know on the 12th if the rest of the local stations get a signal boost when they switch. Most are doing dual broadcast signals now, so even the analog signals are suspect at the moment.
