So, my two PBS stations simply take the analog transmission and feed it onto the digital carriers. Nice fuzzy analog boxed transmission brought to you digitally. Then, PBS is not considered as a local in HD on DirecTV, which I can see the point in not doing as its worthless in quality (makes TBS stretch-o-vision look good).<br><br>PBS has not ground to stand on, and especially no laurels to rest upon.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GhostDoggy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2008 5:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS pushes FCC for carriage on DISH]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</guid><description><![CDATA[You must live in a place where the local PBS affiliate sucks.  In Kansas City, we have four SD sub channels during the day all in clear 480i.  After 6PM, we have one 480i that is a mirror of the analog channel and we have a PBS HD channel.  The quality is great.  I have watched several programs in HD and they are top notch in quality.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Siva]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2008 11:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS pushes FCC for carriage on DISH]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</guid><description><![CDATA[Huh. I get KQED, which at one time was the premiere HD station (not just premiere PBS HD station) in the country! And we have the same setup, and it's a disaster. The first SD channel is okay, the other ones are way overcompressed. If the camera moves, the image breaks into blocks until it is still for a little bit again.<br><br>5 SD channels don't work very well on one 6MHz (14-15mbit) transmitter.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2/LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2008 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS pushes FCC for carriage on DISH]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sorry PBS, but any business that has to go to the government to try to get the law changed to preserve their business model isn't doing business well. Either make your product better so that people demand your product or cut your prices to match what you're offering. Trying to get the government to mandate that companies have to buy your product is absurd.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2/LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 5th 2008 11:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS pushes FCC for carriage on DISH]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</guid><description><![CDATA[absurd, yes. uncommon, no. washington is full of lobbyists who schmooze the government into serving the specific interests of a given company or industry.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tyler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 6th 2008 3:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS pushes FCC for carriage on DISH]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/05/pbs-pushes-fcc-for-carriage-on-dish/</guid><description><![CDATA[No, not those Sesamstraat (is that Sesame Street in Dutch?) gangstas again!
