digital tv transition questions

 Since June 12th I have lost many of my channels that I used to be able to receive such as channel 10 and 10-2 now as of 2 days ago we lost all of our channel 51's.  Is any one else having the same problem? just wondering.

Actually, I picked up more channels since the change. Digital transmissions are even more sensitive to antenna position than analog was. I'm still using the same antenna designed for analog signals but it's also on a rotating mast. If you turn your antenna and rescan the channels, you should be able to find the optimal antenna position.

I have gotten more channels as well and have not lost any I had before the transition. My antenna is actually in the attic. I had to find the right place in the attic to get the channels I wanted most.

I also have an amplifier installed right after the antenna before any splitting takes place. It greatly increases the signal strength of the received channels.

Anyone on antenna TV should get one.
