Re: Still think delay was useless. said by BF69:Let's look at data. In mid February when the transition was suppose to take place 5.1 million were un prepared. Now as of May 24th 2.7 are unprepared. So in 14 weeks 53% of those unprepared in Feb were STILL unprepared at the end of May. If you look even further most of those that did get prepared did so in the first 4 weeks after the delay. Over the last 2 months roughly 200,000 people have gotten ready every 2 weeks when they do these surveys. So that's 100,000 a week. At that rate if we had to wait for everyone to get ready it would take until Christmas to get ready. As I said 4 months ago and have been proven right, people will delay making changes until they are forced to. If the delay happened in February 100% would be ready by now. If they needed a delay so people wouldn't have to go on their roofs in February to install an antenna a delay until say April 12th would have been ok. Not this June 12th bullshit. Low Power TV stations like (HDTN 34) in Victorville CA that are in the Victorville CA area and those that are transmitted on Translators will still be analog for some time, I know This as I know the owner of HDTN. |

Both NH stations make heavy use of translators to cover north country of NH. Depending on where you live may get digital or analog transmission. Those will be analog for foreseeable future. FCC digital mandate exempts low power stations, including translators.
