The Government has mandated the change from analog to digital broadcasting, and set up a web site and a phone number for you to get information about DTV. The problem is, there is little information available at the automated phone number, you get no response from the web site, and there is no way to ask your important questions. I wanted to know some things and did some research. This is what I found out...

  • here you go!!!! Use a battery operated radio like everyone else..who the fuck uses battery operated tvs

  • Who uses battery operated TV's?

    For a start...Everyone who has a TV in their car / van / truck / motorhome / RV...

  • Here in Florida all our shelters have genreators. As far as emergency goes, if your smart anyways, you usually high tail it out way before you get into one of those situations. You can even have taxi service come pick you up free of charge in some situations. If all else fails there is always cell phone updates. You can text "BUY" to "72327" to get updates from the Weather Channel.

  • In Florida, hurricanes come from miles away and give you plenty of warning. In the midwest, tornados "pop up" suddenly and can catch you well off guard.

    It is not about being "Smart", it is about taking away the ability for many to be informed and stay safe. The Government set many of us back to using 1930's technology in the name of progress.

    If local cell phone service is disrupted by storms, you get no info from texting.

  • @NESHero actually 2013 is what i heard :/ but then again, wikipedia lies.

  • there is some convertor box which is battery compatible

  • They didn't bother to tell us that we still needed antennas until after the conversion. Not in California anyway.

  • Another thing.. I only have a statalite... u know how much it sucks when theres a "STORM" and I cant get TV.

  • What really sucks is, the whole world is doing it, Australia will be joining along with the USA in about 2012.

    So much for the TV Tuner on the Sega Game Gear ^_^

  • perfect song to go with the situation. people now realize how good analog was because those damn boxes are horrible without a strong signal.
