local channels missing
How come we don't get all of the local channels as advertised? We don't get 4.1, 6.1, 6.2, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 in the Miami market. Comcast/Xfinity has some of them, we don't have any. Why not?

You are partially incorrect. U-Verse does carry 4.1, 6.1, and 10.1 in the Miami market. 4.1 is U-Verse channel 4 SD and 1004 HD, 6.1 is ch. 6 SD and 1006 HD and 10.1 is ch. 10 SD and 1010 HD.
Who advertised that AT&T carries the .x subchannels (such as 6.2, 10.2)? In 99.99% of the cases, AT&T does not carry the subchannels. You can request them here but truthfully, AT&T's pattern is not tio carry them. That is unfortunate, since you can't use the AT&T DVR, even if you can get them via an antenna.

bonnier243 - Nobody knows. It just is.
The bureaucrats used the TV carry rules as warm up to right the new affordable healthcare rules. The complexity bogles the mind.

A majority of those channels you listed are sub-channels. AT&T U-verse has decided for some reason to not carry any subchannels in most markets. There are some execptions here and there but overall they just don't.

Right about that part in red. Local stations have a choice. "Must carry" of the main (.1) station or negotiate via a carriage agreement. Most local stations have went with the latter. That being said, I have heard that AT&T is looking at carrying the additional subchannels but it may be a few years. Some of the rest of your opinions I don't completely agree with. OTA antenna's work good unless 1) you are too close 2) too distant or 3) have lots of multi-path "distractions." I suffer from #1 and 3, lol.
