For those of you who lost analog stations during the DTV transition, have you determined why you lost those stations? If "yes" please share your experience. The stations I lost are for the following reasons:

- moved to UHF (WMAR)
- distributed transmitter (WTVE)
- not enough power (WPVI6,WGAL8*,WHTM10,WBAL11,WHYY12,WJZ13,WITF33,WB FF45,WFMZ)

That last problem could easily be fixed by the FCC but they seem unwilling to do it. They don't want to admit they made a mistake underpowering stations, but if they simply restored power to ~50% of the old analog levels, most of my lost stations would be visible again.

* Not lost - just prone to lots of freezing
