On the plus side there are more channels, and when you have a strong/steady signal the picture is better. However if there is any signal degradation at all the sound drops out first, then the picture freezes or breaks up into blocks of random pixels.
The ATSC digital system is very sensitive to multipath and does not degrade well under less than ideal conditions. With NTSC analog under poor signal conditions you might have a snowy or ghosty but watchable picture with sound hanging in until the end. With digital you wind up with nothing.
The digital converter boxes are cheaply-made Chinese junk. It's only been a few years and I've already had to buy replacements.
