[RFI] DTV and Power line RFI

[RFI Services]

So far, every time I've had an issue with Digital TV (DTV) it has been a
gross miss-calculation of where the antenna should be directed.
Also note that before investing in a new "Digital Ready" antenna, try your
present antenna. If it doesn't work make sure you are directing and not
reflecting. You'll need to do this anyway. So far every DTV job has been
able to utilize the original antenna used for VHf and Uhf. Sorry radio
shack!
Attic installations are a good idea as well, I know you guys don't want
antennas all over the place.
As always assume nothing and test using the old before spending money.

With the advent of DTV and the impending Feb. 2009 conversion deadline, I
wonder what types of interference will lurk on the horizon.  I realize that
digital comms are a lot less prone to RFI, but I'm curious how strong
interference will manifest itself in DTV.

Any ideas, Mike?
