Just two short days before the big game in high-def, the ABC affiliate in Tyler, Texas lost its broadcast tower! KLTV's tower was over twenty-five years old and collapsed earlier this morning; folks are trying to determine the cause, but at this point, it really doesn't matter what the cause was. The real question is to figure out how to get a DTV signal back on the air before Sunday night!

Can you imagine just dropping a boatload of cash on a new HDTV for Super Bowl XL only to have your signal get yanked 48 hours before the game? Our sincere hope is that a local cable provider or another affiliate can find a way to help KLTV out. We'd invite the town over for our Super Bowl party, but the HD Beat offices aren't quite big enough for a Texas town. Good luck gang and we send out our hopes that you find a solution quickly!
