 <description>&lt;p&gt;My only concern is if they plan to increase the digital signal during daytime hours? The evening hours signal is still weak however does receive. Does anyone know if they are increasing the digital when they cut the analog? I am unable to mount an antenna on my roof due to neighborhood covenants and have an antenna in the roof inside of my garage, the reception is weakened and I already have to rely on boosting the signal. Does Ms Klobuchar intend to in act repeal on covenants to allow for the ability of signal increase? Also, the lower part of town has been blocked from some signals due to the (hole) in the ground theory and the residents of Shule Haus are concerned that their signal will be diminished by the change. Perhaps if some intent of signal strength was aired it could clear up some of the confusion. If the signal strength decreases or remains the same I see this as a push and win for one of the other two modes of reception, those being Satellite or Cable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also with the transition is it possible that local access channels be transmitted to air instead of just cable? It seems a little sided that if we wish to attain public accesses that we need to purchase cable, doesn&#039;t it?&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;A press release from the office of U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, DFL-Minn.:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
WASHINGTON --in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar continued to push the two agencies to prepare for consumers who may be unable to receive digital television service when the transition takes effect this February. She also pressed them to ensure call centers are staffed with the technical knowledge to help consumers.
