Re: Digital TV Over The Air
I just got through watching the Digital TV Conversion special on KGMB tonight hosted by Linda Coble and featuring the FCC commissioner, Chris Leonard from HAB and a KITV 4 engineer.
It's a good basic informational special. The emphasis is placed on getting the coupon for the converter box now, getting ready for the changeover and what to expect.
They do acknowledge that there will be areas that may lose channels or not get anything at all. This is related to the move of the Haleakala transmitters from nearly 10,000 ft. high to Pukalani Ranch at 4,000 ft. So yes, I think signal loss will occur in some areas.
At the end of the program they did not know exactly what to expect for the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
And yes, Random, I would not be surprised the cable and satellite companies lobbied to get those transmitters moved to a less desirable location, though I would kind of doubt if that is the reality.
Still to lose that prime spot at the top of the mountain is probably tragic.
