[78-L] Digital Television -To Be,Or Not To Be? ^

[joe@salerno.com]

I think HD Radio is wonderful, ecxcept that it mainly suffers from the 
same ailment that regular radio suffers from, lack of programming.

The classical station here has 2 HD channels in English and a 3rd in 
Spenish. I like hearing Performance Today and all the other shows in 
digital, now that I seem to have my reception issues resolved.
