Moose,
I can't speak for Bill, but can answer for our case. It was a matter of
distance. We are almost equi-distant from Nashville, Chattanooga and
Huntsville, but that distance is about 60 miles. With analog broadcast
and a rotary antenna, we could get OTA stations from all three cities.
Although we bought local cable for a while, we still used Huntsville UHF
frequently to get ball games that cable didn't cover. With the digital
conversion, OTA went to zilch, nada. I gave my antenna system to a
member of a roofing crew working on the house, just to get it taken down.
Since our power provider put in fiber to the premises, I get TV,
telephone and internet in one package.

I hope your conversion to digital radio goes better than our digital
TV conversion.
I'm interested in what went wrong for you. We get as many or more OTA
TV stations as before the conversion, and the picture and sound
quality is very much better.
We actually watch a mix, all time delayed. Our DVR can record two
satellite and one OTA broadcast at once. The OTA quality is a bit
better, as there is not so much compression, but really, for watching
TV programs, they are all great.
There is also quite a bit of material available we find worth watching
that isn't available OTA, and some not on satellite/cable, either, so
Netflix, Hulu+ and Amazon all figure in our mix.
Of course, even with all those options, sometimes there's nothing on
that we want to watch. :-)
