Can you DTV?

Filed under:Government Stupidity — posted by wtbl on February 17, 2009 @ 9:20 am

Back in November I wrote about a relative who was going to lose TV coverage because of the conversion to DTV.  Sure, the government has postponed the mandatory date for conversion to digital transmission to June.  But some stations are making the switch today.

It’ll be interesting to see if the aunt can get better reception as some of her local stations power up their DTV signals.  It’ll be even more interesting to hear the complaints of those who lose TV reception because they don’t live close enough to the transmitters…and whether this translates to even more government delays in the mandated conversion date.  Actually,  I really hope I’m wrong and that the claims of indep2 in these comments are right.
