Re: hooray
There are a lot of "nightlight" services. Some broadcaster's did not shut off analog cold turkey. As of Saturday analog channel is dedicated about programs about DTV conversion. I think that is a nice touch. Rather then get a blank screen viewer gets information about conversion.

All in all seems to have gone pretty well. Being in a fringe area we lost several stations that had been snowy in analog that only come in once and a while on digital. This is with a high quality outdoor antenna.

| I know 2 stations locally are broadcasting nightlight signals. I think it's a good way to make sure people who need help call and get it.
I lost a few fringe channels and 2 there were solid on analog. One station we were supposed to lose, the other is supposed to be in the "moderate" signal range for me. That station didn't start broadcasting digital until they had to, and I think they're having difficulties now. They also switched towers with the conversion. Wouldn't it make sense to do that BEFORE the deadline so you can ensure it works?

If that's a voluntary measure, it's kind of surprising that they wouldn't have mandated it.

there's one channel that's still broadcasting analog...it's a 24/7 channel that covers how to install a converter box.
unfortunately, it's the channel that comes in the weakest, so until they axe that one channel, it's still going to be a tad iffy.
I'll be glad when the only analog channel still broadcasting are the two low power stations I can pick up. |
