True, but the range is much more limited. Gone are the days of "snowy" reception in fringe areas. In my area, we have already been told that the new digital signal won't be available here. I am using cable, so I'm not affected. Those others here in this area who are 60+ miles out of DC or Richmond, VA are screwed. Five miles further out from here, the only option is satellite as cable isn't offered.

I got my coupons quite a while ago and purchased two converters just to have them. I still find it hard to believe that even with a mighty generous extension of the deadline that so many people are in the dark now.
