When TV Goes All Digital

We don't have cable tv. We've gotten the digital converter. It's awful. We won't have watchable tv after they take analog away. The problem is a week signal.

My ten-year-old son has gotten it into his head that when the tv stations stop broadcasting analog, they will have more bandwidth to send out a stronger digital signal. In other words, after they turn off analog, our digital signal will get better.

I think my son is wrong, but can't base it on anything? Anybody know what the real deal is on this?

Thanks,

Your digital reception should be in the same general ballpark as your analogue was-- sounds like that wasn't so great before.
Definitely echo the antenna suggestion.
