You all know that June 12, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional channels. So if you just bought yourself a new LCD HDTV and you can't get good reception where you live. Then check this youtube page.
EDIT: FCC changed the deadline from Feb 17, 2009 to June 12, 2009.

Interesting, though I take the even easier approach and don't watch transmitted tv, just videos I happen to have. Though if that home made one does work it may help many folks.

This whole changeover thing was a business ploy to make you buy the new equipment anyway. If we weren't so addicted to TV, they wouldn't make a dime! Let's not watch any TV at all after ther changeover date, and do it for as long as we can! That'll show 'em!...
