as far as I can tell
Genuinely curious, but what are you using to measure this, or better asked: how do you define flopped? A year ago before I finally had everything in line to drop out of the workforce and go to Grad school I spent a lot of time in rural America and I met a LOT of people who didn't have Cable, but relied on rabbit ears plugged into converter boxes to get digital TV.
Heck, for a while I even used it-and preferred it, forced me to do something other than sitting on the couch staring at a big rectangular box. Got me my local stations, which were more than enough to have soap opera / background filler noise on while I worked from home and got my Sunday football fix.
Middle America conveniently forgotten once again?
- bmm6o 10y agoWhen the switch was made to digital I was really surprised at the picture quality and the number of channels available with just rabbit ears, for free. This was in LA so it could definitely be different in less populated areas.
- donatj 10y agoI live five miles outside of downtown Minneapolis and have trouble picking up anything inside my stuccoed house. I've tried many many antennas and short of poking a hole in my wall and running an antenna outside nothing has worked. I was able to watch many many analog stations without issue.
- nommm-nommm 10y agoYeah the problem with digital vs analog is digital is "all or nothing." There's no fuzzy picture, there's either a picture or no picture. Which sucks!
- coldtea 10y ago>and short of poking a hole in my wall and running an antenna outside nothing has worked. Isn't that what one's supposed to do in the first place? At least I live in a country and for the whole lifetime of analogue tv (and now digital) we've had antennas outside.
