"Instead of forecasting doom and gloom folks, why not put your time, money and effort into an exercise that will actually help the situation. Spread the word on DTV. Hell, start a blog on HDTV and educate folks for we all we care."
Generally speaking, it isn't the folks who have internet access and would read a blog that will need educating about DTV. The best way to educate them is through TV commercials and announcements. (As soon as they start selling HDTVs on the Shopping Channel, things will take off!)
What KMGH is failing to mention is that, while they have improved their coverage, for viewers outside the immediate downtown area the chances of picking them up (as well as the other major affilliates, as mentioned in the first post) is still pretty tough. I live about 30 miles north of Denver and cannot get a hint of a signal. The sad thing about the CARE group is that the proposed new tower would actually replace four existing towers, and in the end make the visual impact less. The current county commissioners were elected, in part, because they promised to vote against the new tower.
I'm ready, unfortunately the Denver ABC affilliate is only broadcasting HDTV from a temporary transmitter with a range of about 6 blocks.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
