Re: Meet the new boss...
said by Subaru  :I said to a member here about 3 years ago after they were set on the 2009 date for DTV I told this person I BET they will delay it one more time.. and looks like it's going to happen.. Nah, I think it's too close now. I think the argument "Delaying now will just cause MORE confusion" will win out and the change will go ahead as scheduled.

See how I did that? I can claim whatever I want after the fact to make it seem like I really knew something I had no idea about too. |

said by TKJunkMail :said by hottboiinnc :you may have soda. But i have pop. LoL I came across that distinction as a kid. Growing up in Philadelphia, it was always soda. But when I visited my cousins in upstate NY, it was pop. Down here in the South, it's just Coke or Pepsi, depending on which you prefer. Most people call everything a "Coke", even if it's a Dr. Pepper or Mtn. Dew. |

said by Matt :said by TKJunkMail :said by JPL :Actually, even if you somehow missed every one of those notifications, they did one final notification (and this IS something I think the FCC should have done as well). When they cut off the TV analog feeds, they didn't shut down analog entirely. For about 10 - 14 days per market, they replaced the analog feed with a red screen of death - a message (on a blood red background) saying in essence 'if you're seeing this message YOU NEED TO CALL US NOW TO GET A FREE DIGITAL ADAPTER!'
I really think the FCC should have transitioned that way too. Cut off the analog TV feeds for about a month. During that month show a 2-minute infomercial on those analog feeds, telling the people who missed the boat what they need to do to get their TV programming back. That is EXACTLY what stations will be doing. After the shutoff, the analog signal will be maintained with a screen explaining ONCE AGAIN that a cutover has occurred and where to call to get help. It is called the "Analog Nightlight" program and was passed by Congress late last year. » hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/a···20A1.pdf Well there you have it. A completely acceptable solution to just saying, "F'em all. Let them wake up to snow and figure it out themselves." Thanks Tk, I wonder why all the self-proclaimed experts in this thread didn't know about this? I knew about this. appearantly you didn't yet claimed to have done extensive "research". hmmm. |

Thanks Tk, I wonder why all the self-proclaimed experts in this thread didn't know about this? This the first I've heard of the Analog Nightlight Program and suspect many haven't heard of it because the law was passed at the last minute during the holiday season. Now if Congress will just authorize the NTIA to use the money for the coupons that aren't expected to be redeemed before they expire there really isn't any reason for further delay. |
