    After a good rain storm, the static is so high on the upper channels that
    the descrambling looses lock, and the stations go to 'black'.
    But even if its not raining it can take 20 seconds to aquire a station
    as you are flipping around.  Sometimes this requires going to an adjacent
    station, aquiring lock, then returning to your choice.

    The VHF band is not scrambled, but this doesn't mean that the Zenith
    converter boxes will not randomly "drop to black" briefly on Saturdays
    from 7 to 8pm. (Fox 22 on channel 2)

    Does this mean that part of my $56/month is paying for religious
    programming?  I didn't see QVC or HSC in that list.  At least "The Family
    Channel" runs some old re-runs and sitcoms.
