Why do you need to reconfigure the antennas? Do you mean where they point at? You should be able to use the same UHF antenna.
And the better way to do it is to switch and display the message to go to the public TV station or library to be given a converter box or two for $10 (or free). It is costing these public TV stations millions of dollars to power the analog transmitters and some other headaches with operating both. Maybe they should have them turn off the analog TV for a day or a week and put full power to the DTV antennas to see if that fixes the problems people are having.
It just seems like this coupon program is a scam. People are buying these boxes with the coupons now, but will sell them in a few months when the coupon program isn't around. I don't underestimate the cheapness of Americans.
I want them to switch because it will be one step closer to having more TV shows broadcasting in HD. TV stations can put money into better camera and equipment instead of running an outdated technology that doesn't work as nearly as well as digital.
