I sympathize with the O.P.; say goodbye to reliable reception while in

goodbye to portable reception without using an insanely power-hungry

smartphones, etc. it isn't attractive) and say goodbye to reliable
emergency television communications (you would need to do a site survey
just to set up an emergency receiver). <sarcasm> This spectrum grab is
a fiasco and it is sad that the general public hasn't revolted but the
twenty percent or so who need OTA reception are just an inconsequential
minority. </sarcasm>

A lot of the complaints you have could be solved by using the DVB
standard that most of the rest of the world uses, rather than klunky 8-
VSB.
