Digital TV (DTV), getting better but a ways to go.

13.10.09

Analog guru Paul Grohe sent a nice link to pictures of the rework at Sutro Tower in San Francisco. Now that the digital television (DTV) transition has taken place and broadcasters don’t have to broadcast both analog and digital signals, they are swapping the digital antennas into the higher locations and boosting power where the FCC lets them. The DTV transition was not as smooth as some hoped and not the disaster some predicted. Like the entire planet, it was analog, some good and some bad.I scanned my TV and I was surprised to get KRCB channel 22 from Rohnert Park, 90 miles from Sunnyvale purchase. Of course, the station does not always come in I can not generalize when I receive and when I get a signal too weak, so I'm not sure if it is reached or if they lower their power at times of day. I am lucky to get a Nice-line across San Francisco Bay, so that explains why I can not get into the station.

Anyone who looks a little (Nice-compression) high-definition broadcasts to enjoy the benefit of digital television.However, if your house is in an area shaded RF, or if you live in a stucco house and try to use an indoor antenna, digital TV simply does not. We in the Bay Area hope that things will improve in the end, when the redevelopment Sutro Tower is complete and levels of government are strengthened.
