Re: Obama urges Congress to postpone DTV transition - MORON

A LOT of the stations will not go to full power until the changeover occurs. One of our stations is only running at 1/8 the power it will be running after the changeover. A lot of the stations will also be moving their digital transmission back down to the frequency range that their analog transmission are currently. These frequencies are (generally) the ones that have better range than the ones they are currently using.

Delaying the changeover is a mistake. The only way to find ALL the problems (and there are going to be problems) is to make the change over. When we know the full extent of the problems we will be in a much better position to address the problems. If we delay, the solutions we come up with are likely to generate more problems with the unknown issues that already exist.

That's what I thought too, but one station here, WKRN *says* they are broadcasting digital at full power, but we can't pick it up.

I thought maybe the convert box was bad, so I brought it back with me to try on the TV. Being in a major city near Nashville, got perfection reception, but out at his place it's nothing.

It might be that the repeater towers aren't relaying the signal, who knows. I just hope it all gets sorted out before the switchover day or else a lot of people south of Nashville will lose quite a few public stations.
