Then I don't have to hear the whiney left's MSM everytime I turn the darn thing on.<br /><br />I have a DVD of everything I've ever cared to watch in my entire life to this point along with enough players that other folks have thrown out and I repaired.<br /><br />I could just watch my DVDs and read my books for the rest of my life. <br /><br />Must have broadband Internet though. The job requires it and it allows me to actually choose what news I want to hear rather than being force fed liberal rhetoric until I turn into a zombie.<br /><br />If I ever become a zombie I'm going to have to try the long pig just so I can eat the Messiah's brain and launch it down the crapper.<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />JoeAssrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093506505019819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-88969351155933358022009-05-21T10:48:14.335-04:002009-05-21T10:48:14.335-04:00No, that means the era of the big screen in every ...No, that means the era of the big screen in every room is just beginning. <br /><br />Re. what's happening to the televisor: So they're shutting down analog broadcasting at those times so people will know if they need a digital box?<br /><br />WV: matiess -- weren't he some kinda painter fella?Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604826633798229422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-21286308261440718602009-05-21T10:13:40.185-04:002009-05-21T10:13:40.185-04:00I'm sure it will be around for a long time, but I'...I'm sure it will be around for a long time, but I'm also sure it will be increasingly irrelevant. In fact, I think the whole big screen in the living room days are over, just no one realizes it yet.<br /><br />You can buy a 50 inch big screen in WalMart for a few hundred dollars, surely that means the era of the big screen is over.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382683082580500698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-61926299986622878712009-05-21T10:00:14.006-04:002009-05-21T10:00:14.006-04:00It's different now -- DTVs can be assigned side by...It's different now -- DTVs can be assigned side by side by side, no problemo. Power levels are lower, too; if things fall out as it appears they may, the "Class A" (higher power) LPTV stations will have signals of comparable strength to legacy TV stations.<br /><br /> Over-the-air TV has a future, I think, as a secondary medium -- the set in the bedroom, the vacation home or the RV.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-4468677369705335842009-05-21T09:06:32.559-04:002009-05-21T09:06:32.559-04:00Yes, I know most of them use an antenna at the cab...Yes, I know most of them use an antenna at the cable head end for local channels, but srsly... broadcast TV is so 20th Century.<br /><br />And don't even get me started on the FCC's miserable record on frequency allocation. Why you'd almost think they intended to limit competition in the first place. :)Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382683082580500698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-27706076908619585692009-05-21T09:00:20.039-04:002009-05-21T09:00:20.039-04:00How do you think cable and satellite get them?How do you think cable and satellite get them?Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-26684517344734186582009-05-21T08:30:44.122-04:002009-05-21T08:30:44.122-04:00I have a TV, but I never watch it.

If I do watch video, it's almost always on a computer screen these days.<br /><br />I think the FCC could have just skipped the digital conversion and just told the stations to turn off the transmitters. Don't most people watch them on cable or satellite anyway?Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382683082580500698noreply@blogger.com
