Sorry i posted this so late

DTV Transition to be Delayed?

I hope this is not true  :( :no: :hmm:

and here's my comment about the Article

Quote
So much for the new High Defintion channels to come after the So-called Transition. America should have a say in this decision! and i bet 84% want the transition on Feb 17th and no later, because if this extension were to happen(imagine how many people would of switched for nothing and how us digital customers will have to stick with the on and on DTV Scrolls and Annoying commercials on this topic for a very long time to come!!).

IMO, that would be a good thing since the government had run out of coupons for the converter boxes.

How about the Daytona 500...?

IMO, Daytona 500> Super Bowl.

NASCAR =  :sick:
I'll agree with that. Who wants to watch cars go in a f-ing circle for several hours? That right there is primetime entertainment!

I say just keep the date February 17th.  It has been known for a year and half or so (maybe even longer than that) that analog was going to be gone next month.  People should have figured out that they need a coupon a long time ago.  If the government is out of coupons, I guess that's unfortunate for those who didn't get the coupons in time.

Indianapolis 500 is really the only race I watch flag-to-flag...they go a lot faster, crazier wrecks, my bias since I've been there (and live in Indiana), oh, and Danica Patrick.

I Agree 100% kyle, also here is the Full story from the Wash post.

us Digitial customers should not suffer consequences by (extending the DTV Transition), because if this happens No new HD channels we were promised if analog still exists will be added after Feb 17th :censored: :furious:

They are both an incredible waste of time and money. :bleh:

Not if the Steelers are in it. :club:

Of course, they won't be.  :whistling:

Just as the Ravens. :whistling:

I second that. Even though i hate it, i'd rather play it than watch it. Who wants to watch someone else play it? That to me is just incredibly boring.

This is an interesting forecast for tomorrow. I've never seen the bolded phrase in a local before. :blink:


Snow during the morning will become heavy at times during the afternoon. Snowfall rates of an inch or more per hour will greatly reduce visibilities. High 31F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph. 5 to 8 inches of snow expected.

So the bold was actually on the local forecast page? :blink: Interesting. They must really want to stress the hazard; maybe many people have gotten into accidents, etc. due to low visibility. :unsure:

Sounds like a harsh forecast for tomorrow, too. :brr:

No heavy snow here. Just a wintry mix. If it was snowing, there would only be like less than inch of it on the ground. :angry:
