You're fortunate. Many areas outside of a city don't get DTV at all. Also,
if you have a lot of subchannels, you're not getting HDTV, as it is an
either/or situation. Subchannels mean that the bandwidth is not available
for HD (anything over 720p) signals.

Like I said, I use an analog tv, so even the hdtv channels are not hd
for me. But I can definitely tell a difference between the analog
channels and the digital channels. The digital signal, even converted
to analog, are a higher resolution than the analog channels.

For those outside of a city where reception is a problem -- they will
contine to get their LP translator stations for a few more years.
Most of the major stations here have translator transmitters that
relay their signal to the outlining areas.
