Harry Vanderpool, a beekeeper, lives on a hill nearly 1,000 feet above the Willamette River, outside Salem, Ore. It should be a good spot for TV reception, and it used to be. But now that analog signals are disappearing, leaving only digital ones, he may be losing all his channels. “When you listen to the advertisements, it’s ‘Oh, all you have to do is get this little digital converter box and hook it up,'” Vanderpool said. “Well, we get nothing. Zero signal strength.”
