does it just fade out while we are watching and it says '; no signal'; the volume of sound is a lot less also, why? Is it really all about motivation to subscribe to cable? I understand that drops out the signal from time to time also.The digital stations already in progress are clear on my set coming off the antenna but why?
This will happen if you have a borderline signal coming in. You can troubleshoot this a few ways.
The first thing to do is go to http://www.antennaweb.org and check the stations in your area. Find out what direction they're in and what antenna it recommends to receive them. If possible, change your antenna's direction to point towards the stations you are looking to receive.
If you have done that, the next thing to look into would be whether your using an antenna preamp. If you have a large antenna without one, buying one may help. Check out the channelmaster CM7777. This should be attaches right at the antenna if possible.
If you are already using an antenna preamp then it may be best to invest in a better directional antenna. Go to http://www.solidsignal.com and check out the DB2/DB4/DB8 antennas. They are great directional antennas without spending too much.
Here is a link to the DB8:

The problem is that the technology hasn't been all figured out yet, it's that simple. But the fcc is still pushing it anyway. The transition was originally supposed to take place in 2007, and I used to work for a major broadcast company that had been successfully fighting this transition for years because it simply doesn't work as perfect as people are being led to believe. I mean how many times has your analog signal just froze or become pixelated, or have the tv say there's no signal? probably none.
Sorry to say, but while dtv is still in its early stages, this is something that consumers are being forced into and we're just going to have to deal with it until somebody figures it all out. And who knows when that will be. It doesn't have to do with motivating people to subscribe to cable, because it happens from time to time on cable as well.
Most ';digital'; stations are presently broadcasting both digital and analog signals. When the switch is made to digital, the analog signal will be eliminated and without a conversion box, you will get only snow and static on an analog television set.
