And on top of that, after the FCC threatened to revoke digital licenses for some broadcasters not using the digital license, my local PBS stations simple fed the poor analog feed into the digital transmitter, which is then recompressed by DirecTV and fed like a drunken soldier.<br><br>Its pretty bad when the FCC adopts the ATSC specification and the PBS stations refuse to even transmit original content digitally, nor get with cable and satellite providers to re-transmit a kosher signal. Worse yet when 3rd world countries have had better examples of HD than the Public Broadcast Stations in Atlanta.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GhostDoggy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2008 1:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV brings PBS HD to 14 local markets]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree ChostDoggy, Im in ATL also and this totally Sucks for a PBS company!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2008 6:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV brings PBS HD to 14 local markets]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</guid><description><![CDATA[Would really like to see local markets along with DIRECTV push out more CW HD feeds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[GMan212]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2008 2:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV brings PBS HD to 14 local markets]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/03/directv-brings-pbs-hd-to-14-local-markets/</guid><description><![CDATA[In Minneapolis, KTCA 2-1 is the simulcasted SD, digital PBS channel.  2-2 is the HD channel with a completely different schedule.  DirecTV is feeding the Minneapolis DMA KTCA 2-1...so, no HD...yet.  According to this link:<br><a href="http://www.tpt.org/program/digital_updates.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tpt.org/program/digital_updates.html</a><br>..they will be merging the two channels' programming on 12/15.  Here's hoping DirecTV remembers to change from feeding 2-1, to feeding 2-2 on 12/15.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[syphix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2008 7:49PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
