Ed,
Yeah, and over a distance, like Louisville to Frankfort, or even Lexington to
Frankfort, the digital signals deteriorate so badly they are usually
unwatchable.  I used to be able to pull in all Louisville stations, all
Lexington stations, and even one from Cincinnati.  Ironically, when they
first went digital, some of the stations were available because they were on
UHF (the analog was still using their VHF "spot").  Now that analog is gone
on those VHF stations have gone VHF for digital, I have no TVs that
pull anything via antenna.

From what I can tell, digital was no real improvement for most of us at all.
The only thing it allowed was for the government to narrow the band used by
TV so that they could sell the remainder for other uses.

There used to be another subchannel network there in Louisville that also
carried the older 30-minute episodes.  I can't remember which network it was,
though.  I happened to see it on TV while visiting relatives up there a year
or so ago.  It was not Retro TV but a network I had not heard of.  It was the
first time I had seen episodes from any of the "original run" series, and
they were pretty good.

I keep my eyes out just to see if any of the other subchannel networks we do
get here on cable (Me, Antenna, and one other) carry Dr Who but, so far, if
they do I have missed it.

They may very well do so.  Over the years, they have probably had some
characters that look like a Storm Trooper.  I am not sure what the early
Cybermen looked like, for example.  :)

Actually, I know I said I used to be able to get "all" of the Louisville TV
stations, but WBNA may have been one I never did get.  That, and Channel 24.
