Rural people in general aren't "screwed." You also cannot compare watts from before to now, and blame it solely on reception problems. That because many have switched bands from VHF to UHF, or vice-versa. Both bands have their good and bad attributes. Many transmitter locations are now at different compass points. Some stations greatly extended their range when they switched from analog to digital. Also, most use sub-channels with digital, which adds greatly to channel selection.

I'm getting digital signals from 140 miles away in flatter areas of Michigan, and 80 miles away in the mountains of New York. Overall a huge improvement from when it was analog.

I've worked on several rural systems for people who complained they'd lost everything after the change. With all of those, some system tweaking was needed and now they all get much more then before.

I suspect the vast majority of problems since the change are based on misinformation and inadequate or incorrect equipment. The right antenna, pointed in the correct location, with a good low-noise 30dB preamp can make a huge difference.
