Digital TV

[Ron Bello]

The improvement is in picture quality.
1080P high def video.

The plus for the government is freeing up spectrum space which they
have auctioned to the highest bidder.

Last week I setup a new Sony flat screen for my parents.  Of course
they didn't have the cable to connect to the Direct TV box.  So, with
my mother looking like a sad puppy, I cut the connector off an unused
cable, striped one of wires and shoved the end into the antenna jack.
Pushed scan and in 5 minutes had 22 channels of beautiful hidef video.

The rest of the story is that they are located only a couple of miles
south of the Needham / Newton antenna farm.  No hills just line of
sight reception.  WHDH still is transmitting on both channel 7 and 42.
 Just 2 miles away, channel 7 would not lock in.
