The Digital Switch: Watch as the flip took place

The video looks okay to me. Just click the "fullscreen" button. And it's ridiculous to think your DTV box is going to "report" back to the government what you're watching. The DTV box does not have a transmitter capable of sending 30-40 miles back to the central studio. Nuts.

You probably should have actually controlled the audio levels on your online video of the digital switch -- clipped and distorted for the first two parts, and almost inaudibly low for the remaining parts. You should re-encode the files. As for the comment on high definition antennas -- there is no such thing, you don't need a special antenna for high definition, no matter what your dish network guest says (or was that your interviewer -- the audio was low enough that it was hard to be sure who said it). It sounded like you said the digital transmitter was staying on after the transition a couple of times through the segment --- are folks still confusing them?

ok seriously, how hard is it to understand that if you already have cable tv that you will not be affected? and for those of you who had rabbit ears had to get a box? so stupid. just like the media to make a mountain out of a mole hill. what a joke. all digital tv is for is for the gov to keep tabs on everything that we watch and how much we watch it

That was the lamest thing I've ever seen. A fake wall power switch to "simulate" a digital television switch. I've now seen the most ridiculous thing ever at Thalian Hall.
