Hi, Amy,
 
Sorry the last reply got sent without anything in it! 
 
I am not totally sure all wired is better than wireless.  For me personally, I see a diffference between analog and digital signals.  This comes into play particularly with the tv sets now.  I see a difference with "high definition" tv programs playing on my analog tv too.  I think what the govt is trying to do is phase out analog transmittions altogether.  I now have an analog cordless phone--it doesn't bother me at all.  But I cannot go near my brother's digital phone in his home.  Same with tv, my analog set usually doesn't bother me, except when you go into the settings and get the"blue screen".  However, when a high def tv program comes on, I get headaches and dizzy.  (Followed by turning it off.) 
 
I was thinking I'd be ok with a cable connection with my analog/digital set tuned into analog once they do away with analog next year, but now I am wondering whether that will work either.  (Since I can still react to hi def programs with it set to analog.) 
 
So much of this is not known until you get into the situation and you just have to play around with fixes or get rid of particular things you can live without.  But do not assume a corded item is better, because you may be like me and react to digital frequencies.  You may need to experiment some with the electronics of friends to see what you can tolerate best.  But know that that can also change.  There are things I once tolerated well that have now become less tolerable.
 
Also, you mentioned about wi-max towers affecting the out-lying areas of the country.  That is true.  I live in a rural area and it can be bad in much of the mountainous areas.  But since you are house hunting....  If you can, try out either the highest points in your area, where no other mtn ranges are even close.  (They position most towers on mtn ranges and position them so the frequencies are somewhat pointed down, rather than out--at least that is my experience here.  So on mountains some ways away from towers can be quite peaceful, es-wise.)  OR, if you can find valleys where there are twists and turns in the topography--no long straight valley where a tower at either end would affect you--that can also sometimes work well as long as there are no towers above.  In a city setting, many buildings can also be shielding, but then you have to be concerned about what electronics the occupants are using.
 
Also there is this site, sent to us by another member here, which you can use to tell where towers are:

Good luck,
Diane

Thanks for all the info you gave. That's one thing I can't see about moving
to the middle of nowhere. Now they are planning these WIMAX towers, I don't
see why it would even matter. And right now we have a cordless phone, but when
we move I'm changing that. So would you all say that wireless devices are
worse than nonwireless?
