If it affects millions of people, then those people aren't actually watching TV. I can't even watch a Tv show without being constantly reminded about the digital transisition from every channel flashing reminders on the screen during programming.
It is extremely annoying. I was ready for the change back in 2001. I just want it to be done with since I'm sick of hearing about it all the time. |

@windstream.net | The news media has went overboard with the constant dtv reminders. In a few weeks it should all be over. |

They've been told that with this magic box they'll keep receiving TV. They haven't been told that what is a perfectly watchable analog signal is not a good enough signal for this magic box to work. I'm in the situation where I can get a good analog signal, but maybe 1 or 2 digital channels if I'm lucky (they come and go).
Also keep in mind that the majority of the population aren't as picky about picture quality as we are - VHS was fine for them, and they don't mind a little show and ghosting. |
