Wilmington steps squarely into the 21st century!

[Erik Olson]

This week, Wilmington, NC will become the first US city to go completely digital for broadcast television.

With Barry and Jimerson there, it's no wonder.

Congratulations, and don't panic if nothing works. After all, it's just television.

Blasphemy!



Seriously though, it'll be interesting to hear how it goes (went, actaully, been 52mins now).


Free drinks to anyone who can get a photo of Barry running to Radio Shack to buy a converter box if he fergot. :evil: :beer:

Was going to mention this, but got sidetracked. I was actually on News 14 Carolina about the transition.

Yeah, we're the nation's test market, and today's the day. But if you're on cable, there's no difference.

If there's any deficit, it's in explaining what the heck you really meant.

I guess this is what I get for not having TV. I have NO idea what this is about. Converter boxes? Wha?

I didn't say I cared ...I don't plan on owning an idiot box ever again. Not when I can get the shows I want on demand.

Good for Wilmy

Now if they can only get a freeway system in there.

I didn't know you worked at Best Buy dude. I will never say anything bad about their employees again.

 

[David Jimerson]

No, they caught me outside. I guess it doesn't make a whole lot of sense if they don't include the question -- did Wilmington do enough to make people aware -- or the other things I said.
