We can take comfort in the fact that it isn't only digital radio 
that's being ignored. WFSB-DT, Hartford, hasn't had network audio and 
no audio on alternating spots for two days now. Their HD cable feed 
levels are erratic. Every DTV station in this market has incredible 
level problems on their OTA signals. Local levels are high. Network 
levels are low. If you set levels for network shows, the local breaks 
are deafening.

I find myself wondering when we stopped caring about the quality of 
our signals. It's an amazing way to sell receivers.
