  1. Re:What and how on Open Source Study Included In US Stimulus Package · · Score: 1

    Trickle-up, not trickle-down.
    Poor people won't have to spend $1,000 every time they go to the doctor. They'll spend that money, since research shows that the savings rate is dramatically lower for poorer people than richer people. They'll spend it on stuff that happens to be sales taxed.

    Digital TV stations aren't broadcasting at full power until their respective analog stations go offline.
    http://www.fcc.gov/dtv/markets/report2.html has a list of all the coverage areas
    And I wasn't aware you could get NYC signals from 65 miles away (I'm in southeastern PA, so I might try now. I've only got a hill, my neighbors, and half the state of New Jersey between me and the Empire State Building)

    NBC in my area has 3 subchannels: NBC, Weather, and Universal Sports. The main one is still 1080i though.

    I know. They definitely should have scheduled this switchover in some time period when there isn't a rash of severe weather. Definitely has to be out of hurricane season or tornado season. How about the middle of February? Like the 17th?
    Oh wait!

  6. Re:Misdiagnosing stupidity as malice on Conflict of Interest May Taint DTV Delay Proposal · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that most DTV stations right now have reduced signal power. On 2/17 (hopefully), TV stations won't have to broadcast both analog and digital TV signals, so they can increase the DTV transmission power. This should really improve signals.

    Also I nabbed a $200 21" TV from best buy, complete with builtin DTV tuner last black friday. The signal worked during a snowfall last saturday with my set of '80s era rabbit ears.
