I was wondering if maybe the difference between my experience and
others' had to do with the age of the equipment. I've had DTV since '99,
and only the set-top box has been replaced ( 8 or 9 years ago the first
one flaked out ). Maybe the newer non-HD equipment is more reliable?
That said, what do you guys consider sufficient signal? I get 100% on
2 transponders, low/mid-nineties on a dozen others, seventies/eighties on
about 15, and none at all on a couple. ( All on-screen meter numbers. )
