Wow, I never expected so much excellent feedback from everyone. Well, when I got home from work I actually figured out what the "main problem" was. Would you believe that because the DVD player was powered ON and connected to the same extension cord as the television, it actually caused enough intereference to cause the TV not to recognize any of the digital channels during the scan/search. Now, that I powered off the DVD player, I am now seeing digital television without cable for the first time. You're right, it's a wonderful thing. Crystal clear picture and everything. My only complain is that occasionally the picture would jump or freeze due to a temporary signal loss. Of course, I'm sure the amplified bunny ear indoor antenna isn't the best for the job. Unfortunately, since I'm in an apartment complex, we're not allowed to have any external antennas or satellites according to the lease. I'm hoping that you're right and that NYC will boost the power of their digital antennas just a little bit more, so that the picture doesn't freeze as often as it does. I just refuse to pay $60+ per month for cable considering I live so close to NYC. It's just a waste of money in my opinion.
