    It may be good in some respects, but one downside will be that by returning
    to drawing signals off the air, our nearby neighbors will be more succeptible
    to from end overload and other forms of interference. We'll need to be more
    vigilant about TVI than we have with cable and satellite systems.

    Could this be good news for ham radio? Or maybe we can start to complain
    when all these TV antennas start appearing on our neighbors houses. The

    Thanks to high-definition television, antenna sales are increasing. New
    antennas are capable of picking up over-the-air high-definition signals. Cable
    operators compress high-definition signals. Over-the-air signals aren't
    compressed. So some say antennas provide a better picture.
