Re: Can I sue the government for taking

Sounds like you are in a fringe area or the digital tuner in the TV is poor.
If the analog channels had snow or other noise in them, digital TV may not
function. I can receive some stations from another city if they had some
program I wanted to see unique to them. Yes, I had to put up with noise in
the picture, but still viewable. Unfortunately, with digital, fringe viewing
is not allways possible. I see this as potential issue with people in
smaller cities without local TV stations who are not cable/sat. subscribers.
There's going to be wining. Mark my words.

Can I sue the government for taking my free over the air TV away? It looks
like when they switch from analog to digital, I will no longer get free
over the air TV. For the last 26 years I have received my free over the
air TV from my 80 foot tower with 3 antennas and booster. I get about 15
analog stations all the time and some days as many as 50 stations. I
recently bought a small 20 inch Sanyo HDTV with intentions of later buying
a big one. It has found about 25 digital stations but most of them only 1
time and the rest of them 2 to a few times. One comes in almost all the
time except when it is cloudy, storming, raining or snowing. It looks like
when they make the switch, I will only have 1 channel most of the time and
zero part of the time.
