It’s ironic that today we have available to purchase wonderful technology for our homes to receive beautiful High Definition picture presentations, and yet there isn’t sufficient quality produced by the entities acknowledged as the professionals to support justification for the purchase of such technology. Yet it’s to become law that we spend at least enough to upgrade our analog reception capabilities next year to accomodate HD.

There’s nothing but Liberal/Leftist/Socialist love your local homo, white men are stupid beer drinking morons, every other ethnicity is smarter, Corporations bad, four legs better than two Propaganda broadcast on the American airwaves and into our homes.

We don’t need these Leftists writing this crap so it can be pumped into our homes like so much septic waste.

It’s sad to think that even if every American turned off the television in protest for say a month, they’d continue pumping out crap...there is an agenda.

The change isn’t to accommodate HD, it’s to switch to digital broadcast which is more efficient and will cause the sale of more licenses. Actually HD is one of the things that’s helped push the change to digital, you can’t do HD without digital (the analog broadcast standard just isn’t up to sending that much data) but you can do SD in digital. The digital change over has been put off multiple times because it would adversely effect too many people, now finally less than 10 percent of the population isn’t already capable (through new TVs, satellite or cable) of handling digital signal.

If every American turned off their TV for a month the industry would be dead. Their job is delivering eyeballs to commercials, if the eyeballs all went away for a month they’d be doomed. Whatever agenda they have is secondary to the simple concept of delivering eyeballs, it’s the eyeballs that pay the bills.
