The Sunday Post no.1
This Sunday’s post is about the Digital Television transition and cable only sports broadcasting.
In February 2009, the FCC and Congress have instituted a mandate for all television stations to switch over from an analog signal to a digital one. While I don’t have anything against digital television(DTV) I do have a problem with government forcing people to either buy a converter box or lose my television signal. To me this is just another way in which the government is asserting its control. What is next? Will they institute other legislation to control how we obtain information, who knows?
I for one will not be purchasing the DTV converter box. I will be going TV free in 2009 and encourage others to do the same.
Another thing regarding TV, It used to be if you wanted to watch a major sporting event, you could find one of the broadcast stations carrying the game. Well, now if you want to support your local sports team mainly baseball, hockey, and basketball. You have to get cable or satellite TV or listen to them on the radio. Even if you do choose to get cable or satellite you may also have to subscribe to an extended package to enjoy these sports. I think this is a result of greed from the NBA, NHL, and the MLB. I understand that sports are a business and I feel that by restricting the TV broadcast to these providers they alienate their fans. I don’t think that most of the sports fans have cable or satellite and therefore I don’t think they will be watching the games.
That’s just my opinion, that’s The Sunday Post.
