Okay, the new channel 32.2 has started broadcasting and I get it on
two of the converter boxes in the house, but on the DTV box in my
room, all I get is audio and a black screen which says "Audio
Service." I paid a good deal of money for the DTV converter, so I
expect it to do everything it's supposed to do. Does anyone know
why I can't get the proper picture, and what can be done to fix
this?

Play with your antenna. You will discover all sorts
of magical, unexplained behaviors just by moving the
receiver (antenna) up, down, rotated, etc.

Ain't DTV fun? We get entirely different channels in
two rooms separated by 30 ft!

Yes. And lots of people (most?) think that it's *all* digital (including
the RF parts), and therefore somehow magical and not at all prone to the
kinds of problems experienced with the bad old "analog" TV (ghosting due
to multipath propagation, etc.)

(Well, presumably not most of the people *here*, but ...)
