[BC] Repacking the TV band

[Gary Peterson]

I know people in rural America who lost their OTA
TV when it went digital.  They had viewable OTA
analog pictures.  They got converter boxes and now
get nothing.  Some went to satellite TV.  One
couple I know has not had TV since the drop dead
date.  They tried all manner of converter boxes,
antennas and preamps.  Nada.  They now believe
that it has been a blessing in disguise.

"I have never had cable or satellite and watch
OTA.  Couldn't people have used their government
coupon for a digital converter box and paid $10 or
$20 to buy one?

>Hate to break it to you, but OTA tv is pretty
much dead in rural America since the switch to
digital.
