The answer is sat tv. The MSM stations are all gonna be dead anyway in a year or two - unless, of course, they are bailed out by the loon and his loon-a-ticks. (Yup, misspelled ticks...but it looks nice....)
Has anybody invented a “magic jack” for tv yet?
I don’t quite get why the feds are so worried about people getting TV reception. Aren’t we in the middle of economic crisis? Are we not trying to squash corporate greed?
If some little station stops its analog signal then so what. If any station stops it analog signal then so what. When the power goes out at your house it the first thing you grab the remote?
Why? Why? Why are we so worried about this crap. For the price this conversion has cost the tax payer we could have all bought new flat screens with the required digital reception built right in.
I have satellite TV so no worries.
There, fixed that.
>>If you were unaware of the national conversion to digital TV, youre not alone. <<
Because you live under a rock.
There has been a bazillion commercials about this.
when they came for my family I didn't do nothing
when they came for my rabbit ears.....
There, fixed that for you.
The main reason is that they had to contract the crews and equipment to make the changes months in advance. Not an easy task due to the fact that every TV station in the country had to do it at about the same time.
With Obama's change to June, they could either cancel the work, break the contracts and kiss the money goodbye (and then have to wait for re-scheduling the job).
Many of the stations that completed the switch today really didn't have much choice unless they were very wealthy or (or a unit of PBS with a big fat tax-payer wallet laying open for them).
Alas, these same uninformed people vote too.
Analog, digital...and our rookie “powerhitter” with a few weeks in the Senate driving the powerful Yankees to oblivion as he “DIALOGS” balls and strikes....wait does he have any ba....? Uh oh, I can’t with for Spring Training or the WBC if I’m using baseball analogies regarding TV...would Palestine vs Israel be like the Roadrunner Show in real life?
Television transmission type should have been left to the free market to decide, not government. Government intervention was not needed to push most listeners from AM to FM preferences.
