6 million may lose digital TV reception

[Kevin Vahey]

A market research group in Los Angeles has done a study of digital signals
and has found that almost 6 million homes will lose channels even by
converting to a digital tuner.

They are claiming that 50% of the people now using rabbit ears will get less
service than they are getting now.

They are saying the FCC is wrong is saying digital signals hold up for 60-75
miles and they claim their findings show digital signals degrade at about 35
miles.
