My disappointment comes in image quality. There's been so much hype that there's no snow in the image, you either have a crystal clear pic or nothing. Not true. Here in Minnesota, we get snow! And if there's not a good reception the audio will drop out rather than hiss and buzz like with poor analog reception. But I'm just using my old rabbit ears on it and it's working. I understand that they're not broadcasting at full power yet so the reception should improve. I'm going to hold off and see how it works out before buying a different antenna. I have quite a few more channels now and many of them are of interest to me. So for a $40 investment (2 converters x $20) I have probably as many channels as I would watch on cable or satellite and in two rooms. From that standpoint, I'm quite pleased.

But like you -- I am disappointed. We lose signal constantly. I personally think it is a step backward. But I refuse to have dish, satellite or cable. And I guess that is where it "shines".

I never even heard of "Gossip Girl" til just now. I love "The Office" though.
