I don't know how DJs are getting two coupons; my house got one coupon and we couldn't cash it in because no place had any converters available, the coupon had an expiration date (long passed now) after when new shipments were going to arrive, and one of the few stores that had them wasn't accepting coupons.
Well, when signing up at dtv2009.org, you choose 1 or 2 tvs. I just went to Target and got mine. One didn't have it, got the number of the other closeby and they did... so bought it. Unless there aren't many stores around you, that is.
The lack of pixelation during heavy motion action along with the 3D rendering characteristics makes it awesome sometimes I guess. I prefer the extreme surround sound effects, and the force-feedback.
dude, a converter box does fine, and it doesn't actually do anything with the digital signal other than process it. The antenna does that. I can tell you with experience that with the right antenna it works great. with a converter box.
You know there's no "subsidized" boxes, right? There's just a coupon for $40 off of a purchase of a DTV coverter. There are many, some which are far more than $40.
I'm proud to say that I understand that joke, along with any jokes about things that existed before I was born since I did use more than what was at the store at any given day.
Except, you know, that honest people don't run port scans on random machines that aren't theirs. It's great that you say this like it's true. It proves to me that we need to educate.
I've been in I.T. and Internet Technology for 15 or so years, and remember when "port scanning" even started appearing. It's no more malicious than me walking by your car to see if the door-lock buttons are up on your car doors. Sure, we all know what the reason for it is, but there's nothing illegal about it. Ultimately, it could be someone admiring the window tinting. (or in scanning, someone seeing what a good organization uses as it's forward-facing firewall architecture with an nmap.)
Renting means you hand money in increments during ownership and hand the item back after a certain amount of time. With software, ever since the whole purchase thing started happening, you buy the license to use it.
I can't believe anyone still uses them there computers. I don't know anyone other than myself that uses a computer. *shakes head* what you said is just idiotic.
I can't speak for other markets, but here in Portland at least one station recently ran a prime time demonstration. They said "Right now we are going to turn off the analog transmitter for 60 seconds. You will know if you are affected if your picture goes away."
That'd be an awesome pre-recorded commercial. Have william Shatner talking about episodes of Star Trek back in the 60's when talk about how we're stepping into the next generation, with Patrick Stewart stepping out from the side, speaking of the new way that information is relayed from person in order to speed up Federation data transmission... then have him say that without this update, all you'll see is... then throw the fake screen fuzz up. Would be funnier, at least. More so than theoretically real-time analog transmitter outages.

Burning lynched corpses of FCC executives is a tragic waste of books?
Electronic books that never wear out and only need to be repurchased every 4 years
No no no... you're renting a license! Microsoft will own the literature industry.
It's the only right thing to do, we have to think about the authors.
Vice versa.
A minority use VHF currently and are in transition to the UHF spectrum like the rest by February.
Thanks, I didn't know they were doing that!
I just had the government buy my almost foreclosing house!
(sarcasm)
Cable doesn't do conversion, it's just transmitted over it's own network.
Analog signals will be discontinued theoretically in February 2009.

When you say 'valley', do you mean Phoenix Arizona or one of the other million valleys?
He/she was talking about the part you didn't quote.
Now, try the front door, back door, all the windows, and the sliding glass door in the back - and you may indeed be in trouble.
There, now reply.

Dude, look at the root word and the descriptors around the word and you'd understand why it's spelled like that.

I don't consider skype or vonage geeky, they're just voice over ip solutions. Some people have portable phones that work outside of the house.

I got to watch HD quality news about Gustav and people's power going out :)
Hits the nail on the head, my friend.
They're really saying to upgrade the TV?
Leave it to Delaware... wow.

But they haven't done it on the DTV channels!
How will they know about the transition?!
