But that's only a fifth of their analog signal. I can get that fine,
but 38-DT's always been a crapshoot. Transmittter's in the wrong
direction and everything.

But for now, the LP out of Highland Park is blocking it on 33 in any
case.

We're messing with the old attic antenna that can rotate between N and
SE, according to the control, but it's so old it might only be VHF.
Also, using the TERK and some other VHF/UHF set top antenna, but the
only thing that ever really got 38-DT were the old rabbit ears hooked
up to my DVR.
