Are current generation OTA digital tuners much better handling multipath than those of a few years back?
I've got a Sony 42" rear projection TV of about 3 years back and am
wondering if current generation ATSC tuners are substantially better at handling multipath? Is it worth trying one to decrease Multipath dropouts? Jim

The antenna was checked with a spectrum analyzer and is about as good as it gets. 2 different receivers show the same fault. If it was a multipath problem they would behave a little differently. Bottom line: if it isn't real common, it could be the station. GG
