Problems in the switch to digital

These concerns echo what Dave from Branford told me: That getting digital channels to come in on your rabbit ears or even outdoor antenna will be difficult in many cases. And Branford is relatively flat, with Long Island Sound on one side. If you're in hilly Prospect, Cheshire or the Valley, you will have to precisely position your outdoor antenna for the digital signals (on your roof in the frozen, snowy winter).
The cost and quality of the converter boxes also varies a lot, which complicates the issue.
