i think in talking about spectrum was refering to the frequencies the signals are broadcast on.
 
Thus the reason why people in country away from towers will have harder time to get good reception.

Ok, I'm sorry about you don't understand, I'm not good on translation and wait for other members to do.
 
Basically, they are changing tv channels into higher frequencies so that they can make better use of signals. By using digital, they are now able to transmit several channels on one frequency.

The frequency now being used for analogs will be sold to highest bidder. They are very valuable cause they can travel long ways and get around buildings and etc.

Feel free to ask questions.
 
i beleive i read some where theyve already been auctioned off and AT&T got them.
 
i was wrong... they bought licenses from another company instead


AT&T buys $2.5M in spectrum licenses
Posted 10/9/2007 2:26 PM

By MICHELLE ROBERTS= ^Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — AT&T agreed to pay $2.5 billion for spectrum licenses that will allow it to expand wireless services or add broadcast video in much of its coverage area, the company announced Tuesday.
The deal to acquire the licenses from Aloha Partners LP, the nation's largest owner of 700 MHz frequency, will give AT&T 12 megahertz of spectrum covering 196 million people in 281 markets. It'll boost AT&T's presence in most of the top 100 markets in the United States.

The nation's largest wireless carrier could acquire still more of the spectrum in January when the Federal Communications Commission is scheduled to auction a large chunk used by analog television.

I dislike Sony. They make it so difficult for me to turn the closed captions on. :mad2: They hide the option/feature that you need to use to turn the closed captions on the TV screen. I have searched around and around and around and tried every option and there is no option to turn the closed captions on even though it says on the box that the TV does have closed captions. There is also NO option on the remote itself to turn the closed captions on. Therefore, I have vowed NEVER to buy Sony. I found out this problem when I was in college and we had to watch a video and we tried to turn on the closed caption on the TV and we tried for half an hour to find a way to turn the damned closed captions on. I even checked the back of the TV to see what year the TV was made in (there is usually a label on the back of the TV that shows the year the TV was made in), and it was made in 1998, so it should have had closed captions, since there is a law (I believe) that ALL TVs made in 1994 and after 1994 must be equipped with closed captions. I was so :mad2: when we could not turn the damned closed captions on. And this was not the only occasion that this has happened to me, I have had this happen to me while at a friend's houses who has a Sony, or at a relative's house who has a Sony, and the same thing happened. :mad2: And I am the one who usually jumps up to turn on the closed captions on the TV in class or at a friend's or a relative's since no one else usually knows how to turn them on except me or the interpreter. :mad2:

I have a Funai and a Magnavox. The Funai has closed captions while the Magnavox doesn't, since the latter was made in 1992.
 
lucai,

i don't use close captioning, so i have no idea.

Yeah, I know. So, I guess the Sony is a good one for you. But for me, no.

Are your wrists still hurting? I'm still seeing some typos. If you can't get prescription pain killers, I suggest ibuprofen. Up to 800 mg per dose, not to exceed the ceiling dosage of 3200 per day. 800 mg should do the trick. If not, don't be ashamed to ask for some Vicodin or another prescription pain killer. You don't have to live in pain. Narcotic pain killers are not a bad thing if used in moderation and if you are careful. I use narcotic pain killers myself for my chronic pain. I find Tylenol to be completely useless for me, but maybe it will work for you.

Sorry for being off-topic, but I wanted to tell Hear Again this.
 
lucia,

yes my cts is bothering mea lot to day which is the reason for my ty[pos. i never thought about asking my dpctor for vicodun. she only recommended ibuprifin. i'm not sure why she didn't ecommend a stronger pain med. mad.
 
i've taken frequnt braeks from ad today. but it's not making a diference. pain is pain and still hurts whenever i type, but thers's nothing i can do about it exept not to use the cmputer. i have't had physical thearpy for a wk - i forgot about my appitment at 8am on satuerday - so that's makig a diffrece in my pain level.,

Weird...I've seen CC on a Sony HDTV before and I didnt really have much of a problem with that feature that much at all...why, we used to have that Sony HD projection TV before but my ex-step father took that with him after my mom divorced him so *shrugs* It was nice yeah but at least last year we got that Panasonic HDTV which seems alot better.

Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung are among the best electronics I proably seen so far in this generation.
 
i can voich for samsung as i have a 32" samsung hdtv. it has exellent sound quality and vertical speakers on either side of the tv screen which make listning very, comfrtable. sure beats the phllips tv i had before (which was given to me by my sister aftermy own tv stoppd workingg 2 years ago).

Maybe it's because you're in a different part of the state or country. I don't know. I don't think all Best Buy stores have the same prices on their DTV boxes. I've been to Best Buy and their DTV boxes cost 60 to 80 bucks total, which means you have to pay $20 to $40 extra on the boxes depending on the brands. I can't really afford more than $10. Hence the reason I go to Walmart. I'm on a fixed income, remember?
