Residents from across west Texas are crying foul. When they flipped through the channels, they found out, they'd been fooled. Jennifer Tollison, a DirecTV customer from Monahans says, when we called them, they told us that we'd have so many channels, cheaper price, then we asked about our locals, they said we'd have them and we have channel 2, but we do not have channel 7 or 9, we don't get our local channels we asked them point blank, will we have our local channels and they said yes you ...
@pantz04 - twitter.com who asks: Will Blu-Ray make DVD obsolete like DVD did VHS? This is a hard question to answer since there are so many factors. It's not fair to compare it to VHS since the factors today are different. Today we have a wild card called digital downloads. This could hinder (or possibly help) Blu-Ray's goal of owning the market. With HDTV still sitting in a niche market, it's still a steep uphill battle. Hope that answers your question, @pantz04 ... q&a howto dvd blu-ray ...

CBS program promo and a "Food 2 Families" PSA is a brief sign-off announcement and a SSB video with Old Glory flying. After about a second of "snow" (possibly pre-recorded and inserted into the video), there'a a minute or so of the NAB's DTV Answers program, which will run continuously for about thirty days. This clip was recorded "over the air" using rabbit ears and a VCR. A good sign-off clip, but nowhere near as great as that of WGHP FOX 8's. ... WFMY CBS Greensboro North Carolina analog ...

After years of waiting the DTV switch came down to the click of a button around 9:00 this morning. You may experience a loss of signal over the next 30 minutes or so, because not only are we making the switch ehre at CBS 7, local providers are also having to make the switch. Viewers watching the old analog CBS 7 with rabbit ears or outdoor antennas will need to connect those antennas to a digital receiver, such as a new digital TV or a converter box that then connects to the old TV. Simply connect the existing antenna to the converter box and the converter box to the TV. Tune the TV to channel 3 and instruct the converter box to scan for new channels. If you are having trouble with your converter box, or if you are on Dish Network or cable and you are still having problems receiving the CBS 7 signal in an hour or so, help is available at 1-888-CALL-FCC and www.dtvanswers.com. Or call us here at CBS 7 at (432) 580-5672. Happy transitioning!
