I really don't know how much more fragile they are (would depend on  
how things are handled), but why would you need a line of sight to  
the transmitter any more with digital than with analog? I thought  
part of the reason for going digital is that each station can  
broadcast in a narrower band, allowing transmission power to be  
increased without interfering with other signals.

As I said, I really don't know, so if you have any good references  
handy, I'd be happy to "get educated".
