Digital Transition

*Raph's Girl* · 06-12-2009, 12:15 PM

Well the digital transition occured aproximatly an hour ago. Anybody with just cable lose any channels??? I lost 2... CMT and Oxygen (they tell me I need a box...pft...)

Now Oxygen is no skin off my nose. Never watched the network in the first place but CMT is something I DO watch on occasion. Thankfully the tv in the livingroom has digital cable.and CMT (which will be helpful on Sunday for the premier of the new season of Can You Duet).

I thought the digital transition was February 17, 2009. What happened with that?

It was delayed for months...two of our TVs have cable, while the last one has a converter box, so we're good...I still think it's just a bunch of hype, though. We've been hearing about the "switch to digital" for so long that it's gotten old really quickly...no more of those PSAs, thank God...

Obama decided to delay it for some strange reason. So instead of Feb 17th it was today at 9am PT/Noon ET. I wonder if there was an important signifigance to that time??? The local news showed that to do the switch all they had to do was push the off button on their analog thing. *lol*

Been using digital boxes for years, so I wasn't effected at all.
