have more sense than previous politicians.

My guess is that someone wanted the changeover to be on January 1st
but people came to their senses and put the change off until after the
Super Bowl.

And at the time they didn't want to wait until summer since the later
it was, possibly the less that companies would have bid at auction for
the spectrum space being vacated.

I don't think it'll be a big deal for the broadcasters to go to high
power right at the changeover date, since they've been testing their
transmitters late at night for the past year or so.

So that is why they chose that date !!!
I was wondering why......

Guess I'll have to connect my converter late at night and see what
happens. I connected it when I bought it, but a few days later I
removed it and went back to analog since I was not getting any
stations.

It never fails. No matter what anyone posts on any newsgroup, there
is some asshole that replies with name calling.
I'm glad my news software has a good killfile!!!
