[HoustonHam] Digital TV - too technical for public??

[vaclav sal]

I have read the article and my deduction is - digital TV won't work in Texas!
The technician mentioned in the article states that in his experience it won’t work when "...especially when it’s windy or hot and sunny..."  
He describes "normal” everyday weather in TX!
But I was under the impression that they not only going digital but are changing "channels" to UHF! And since UHF has not been the "network" channels the antenna issue would be valid but for wrong reason! I guess it would be too technical for the general public!
Also I do not buy the "all or nothing" signal theory explanation either.  Digital supposed to be relatively immune to signal strength as long as it meets some minimal level. 
But if you are on the edge of this minimal strength – then you are out of luck.
 
Back to ham radio - anybody experimenting with digital TV ?? Or is it too early??
