So they're definitely letting people know early here.  But regardless, it doesn't concern me since I subscribe to cable.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 8th 2008 5:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilmington, NC to become first test market for 2009 analog shutoff]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</guid><description><![CDATA[Interesting is the fact that WILM 10  has no digital station here at all. Only a Low Power VHF transmitter. It an absolutely horrible signal. They will also not grant digital waivers for sat customers for HD DNS, and the ironic part is WRAL out of raleigh is the sister station for capitol broadcasting group. <br><br>WRAL was one of the first HD stations in the country as well as first news broadcast in HD if my facts are accurate....yet wilmington is not HD at all unless you have time warner cable and get a fiber fed singnal from WRAL. <br><br>Also, wilmington has no CW station ...also ironic since there are tons of shows filmed in our city. <br><br><br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[seven20p]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 8th 2008 7:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilmington, NC to become first test market for 2009 analog shutoff]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wilmington does have a CW station, it's on Digital Cable channel 911...which is where it's been for the past year....to year and a half, if not longer.  But a person who doesn't have TWC.. or who doesn't subscribe to anything more than Basic or Expanded Service with TWC, wouldn't see it unless they upgraded their service. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ddawg4ever]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 8th 2008 8:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilmington, NC to become first test market for 2009 analog shutoff]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</guid><description><![CDATA[So do the digital converters have any type of amplifier in them, because seeing as the digital signal comes in or it doesn't. At least with analog you could put up with a little fuzz on a channel. Now the second you would hit fuzz on analog, you get nothing with digital. Hopefully the FCC allows the use of more powerful towers once the switch happens. Same problem with HD Radio. Hit that borderline and boom, no more music, where it might be a little staticy on analog.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[THizzle7XU]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 8th 2008 9:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wilmington, NC to become first test market for 2009 analog shutoff]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/08/wilmington-nc-to-become-first-test-market-for-2009-analog-shuto/</guid><description><![CDATA[This will be interesting. <br><br>Either no one will notice, or 90 million elderly people will be upset and they'll have to turn it back on and leave it on forever since they wont have any idea what 'all this digital shenanigans is'. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 9th 2008 10:32AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
