Is over-the-air digital broadcasting poor?

[NewsBot]

(I hope that I've picked the correct forum to ask this question about digital broadcasting and TV tuners in PCs.* If I've chosen the wrong forum, please forgive me.)

 

We don't have cable or satellite TV. We've been seeing all of these ads on TV talking about the change to digital broadcasting for over-the-air broadcasting starting in February 2009. We've got 1 small digital TV and I've purchased a digital TV receiving antenna for it. And I've also purchased a Hauppauge TV Tuner for my PC and a digital TV antenna for it as well. Both of these digital TV antennas are indoor receivers, and are in different places in my house. However, the reception is poor at best for some channels and is downright abysmal for others. I am wondering if it is because of where I live, or if the current state of digital broadcasting in*our area is very poor?* Or if it could be something else.* (I think I've got an adequate video card, so I don't think that is the issue.)
