Why do people ask TV questions in a newsgroup that is

clearly marked for Windows XP?

Because they're using XP, of course! My question is why MVPs like you

get your panties all up in a twist when someone posts something you

consider to be off topic. Lighten up, dude.

Who said they were? Did you measure signal strength?

Why are you asking HERE? What does this stupid question have to do

with XP? NOTHING.

I don't know whether they're weaker, but they are more fragile. A

poor-quality analog signal will result in snow or other picture

problems, but the result will still be watchable. The same amount of

degradation in a digital broadcast will reduce the picture to an

unwatchable mosaic.
