Why are digital over-the-air TV signals weaker than analog over-the-air TV
signals?

Why do people ask TV questions in a newsgroup that is
clearly marked for Windows XP?

Because they're using XP, of course! My question is why MVPs like you
get your panties all up in a twist when someone posts something you
consider to be off topic. Lighten up, dude.

Who said they were? Did you measure signal strength?

Why are you asking HERE? What does this stupid question have to do
with XP? NOTHING.

I don't know whether they're weaker, but they are more fragile. A
poor-quality analog signal will result in snow or other picture
problems, but the result will still be watchable. The same amount of
degradation in a digital broadcast will reduce the picture to an
unwatchable mosaic.
