Digital TV is going to be the biggest failure since all the others of the past 8 years.
With the deadline approaching for the end of analog TV, I thought I'd provide a list of sizeable American cities or counties where the forced switch to digital might make you lose most of your over-the-air TV reception.
In or near these cities, you may still get a few channels, but probably not major network affiliates. Or you may get no over-the-air TV at all:
• Allentown, PA
• Canton, OH
• Bloomington, IN
• Fayetteville, NC
• Bellingham, WA
• Flagstaff, AZ
• Pike County, KY
• Enid, OK
• Athens, GA
• Cumberland, MD
• Poughkeepsie, NY
• Mansfield, OH
• Kokomo, IN
Happy now, Bush?
Reportedly, folks who live only 15 miles from Cincinnati (a much bigger city than any of those listed) are able to get only one station via digital TV. I live 2 miles from downtown Cincinnati and am going to lose at least 2 stations that used to appear reasonably clearly.
Meanwhile, the digital converter box that many people have buyed for their TV sets has a new name that's making its way through the Internets (sic): the Bush box.

You can't have it both ways, Tim. You want heavy regulation by the imperial federal government, now you're going to have to take the stuff that you don't like along with it.
