we should have.

Jerry - DTV PROBLEM

DTV PROBLEM has not been solved!
The coupons have expired.
They will not send
more.
I went to freecycle and asked for one!
Xavier put one under his
doormat.
My borther-in-law went over to get it.
He mailed it to me
yesterday.
The Circuit City went out of business.
The Sears store was
closed...
Now I have to go to Fry's next town.
this is getting bad because my
friend had to take his back to Wal-Mart.
He says only 6.1 and 6.2 are on DTV...

optides - Where is the antenna?

Well, the antenna is usually on top of the TV, or the roof.

I come across a lot
of articles about converter boxes, but haven't seen many on antennas as the June
switchover approaches.

Yet acquiring the signal is critical, and if one is
using a converter, one is inevitably using some type of antenna.

The digital
signal is a frail reed. I have seen great signals with old rooftop entenna,
particularly in flat areas where I've set up new digital HD televisions. I've
seen limited reception in other areas; tall buildings, other structures, sight
lines to broadcast towers are poor, if any. And I've seen dicey reception --
different digital channels come in well enough to lock into, on different
days.

So where are the articles on which antennas are best to deal with this
week link of digital TV?

Mitchell Erblich - how to end TV suffering?

I heard that shoes are needed. FYI, you need to get the throw just right so the
heal hits the tube. No, tennis shoes are not acceptable..

Mitchell Erblich - On a serious note

|2009-02-27 01:00:16

The key is the antenna and its location. A great antenna is one that can placed
at one location and get a clean (no snow) analogue/current signal for all
channels without any movement. In my experience on top of a roof is best, second
is an attic, and the third is a balcony or a fence. The last location probably
will have direction issues and will restrict the number of channels. Lastly, the
bigger is better and don't use rabbit ears.

Hey that analog monster was asking for it. Seriously, that guy had a television
that had worked for the last 40-50 years and because some greedy charlitans
wanted to sell you cable, cell phones and wireless internet; and some
politicians agreed to let them do it, you have a 100 lb paperweight in your
living room.

It amazes me that people can drive a car. It takes 8 steps to get your car to
move. A big part of our population is brainless or unwilling to take the time
to learn how to use their equipment.

STFU GREG - Quiet, Greg The Troll

This has nothing to do with the NRA. You can't even spell, so why are you
assuming anyone with a gun has "low IQ"?. Oh, I forgot; you're a silly
liberal that wants total control of everything by the government. You and your
silly shelters. Why not just put a sign out front "Want to kill your missing
wife? She's inside here!". You're an ignorant waste of flesh. Please go get
treated in the UK for cancer. Yes, that means 'die'.
