I have not been able to receive NBC on my repeater transmitter tower for weeks. County has announced they will not upgrade to D TV and that they will shut is down completely on 2/17. For those of us in flyover country, these repeater transmitters are vital, and there was not one word about them in the Congressional Legislation regarding the D TV changeover. We are left without a conplete national network.
That doesn’t sound good. Sorry to hear it.
Yes, veddy intarestink. Between repeater coverage, or in your case, lack of, and the fringe coverage off the main transmit antenna, for various stations, I would suggest that viewership of network television will take somewhere between 10 and 25 percent drop because of coverage alone, content is another issue entirely.
