BUT if they do they will be getting a formal complaint from me as that would be akin to them striking the emergency broadcast system from the airwaves. When the cables out the only two channels I can get is my local station, and PBS. Were filling the air already with so many signals its amazing that there isnt more wireless interference then there is. Long as they dont interfere with PBS or my local station, im happy with it.

They are so worked up about the upcoming selling of the airwaves, you would think they were getting a percentage (on second thought, perhaps they are). Many people watch television today - without cable or satellite. Those of us who have cable or satellite still have terrestrial antennas, because there are outages (moreso with cable) and because there are always some stations available with an antenna that are never carried on cable or satellite. The Bush administration has carved up much of the country for sale to their cronies, and this last effort is just another way to privatize things that should be publicly owned. Some will assert that the proposed moving to digital television was conceived before 'W' took office, and they are right, but the changes that are so devastating to the public interest are from the era of 'W'.
