I can get a few LA and a few Santa Barbara digital stations, but it's just somehow not the same. I know it's psychological thing, as I've watched a few things in digital over-the-air on various vintage sets. Let's equate it to having an Apple Pan hickory burger, cooked the same, and everything identical, but served by someone new, who hasn't worked there for 40 years like the 3 old regulars... (Other AKers; please excuse LA-insider comparison)

A bit off topic. But An Apple Pan burger and a piece of apple pie is 5 star eating IMO. There are several other L.A. VK'ers that can back me up on this. Only drawback is waiting for a seat to open up. Again, excuse the local L.A. reference,
