Andy Wood 04/21/09 02:34 PM, 0 CommentsAs most of us should know by now, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made its initial recommendations of the use of wireless microphone and communications systems alongside that of TV Band Devices and other spectrum users. The original proposed date of February 18, 2009, still has some implications, albeit put back to June 12, 2009, if and when that decision makes its way from the Senate through the House of Representatives. In the meantime, parts of the U.S. have… View this story

Mark Frink 03/16/09 02:03 PM, 0 CommentsWhile Congress voted in February to extend the deadline to June 12, 2009 for U.S. television stations to covert to all-digital transmission (DTV), the transition is well underway, with digital transmission already common in major markets. There’s also a movement to provide analog “nightlight” broadcasts, providing a looped “infomercial” to the 30 million who can still only receive analog TV. Thus what we’re left with: digital transmissions have begun while analog also continues in many markets, and it all could… View this story
