Another difference between analog and digital TV signals is that analog signals fade gradually, but digital signals fall off suddenly. Once again, good antennas and antenna placement are a priority for good DTV reception. Bill Hayes and Gary Sgrignoli explain. This clip also gives some basics on several other DTV secrets. First, the digital channels you're getting now are probably going to change numbers in February. They may be changing without your knowing it, as stations make transmitter tests. Second, your digital tuner tries to help by scanning for good signals, and bringing in the stations you expect on the station numbers you expect. Just remember to scan often. And, a good option for your tuner is to have one that does 'added' scans, in other words, doesn't erase station numbers it's found in the past. That way, you won't lose out on the programs you want to watch.

This clip makes two points. First, analog's signal is different than digital's because it talks to the tuner in a different way.

This is the technical reason that you'll need different types of antennae to get stations in the same area. Channels 2-6 need a different antenna than channels 7-13 or 21-69.

When it comes to weaning a fuel hungry nation off of foreign oil the recent buzz has centered on ethanol. Much has been said about the pros and cons of the predominately corn-based fuel with any number of experts casting doubt on its performance.

But one sector of auto racing has committed to "homegrown" fuels in its dash for cash. John Nichols explains how an aggressive marketing campaign is helping ethanol race into the fast lane.
