It's been three weeks since the switch to digital TV and there are still 1.7 million U.S. homes without access to digital television, according to a TV Technology news report.

Unfortunately, many of the people without television were prepared for digital TV, but for whatever reason their local broadcasters can't get the signal to them.

The thing that stinks about this is that it wasn't like digital TV came out of nowhere. It's been in the works for years. There wasn't just a delay a few months ago, there was a delay back in 2006.

We knew about the small pockets of viewers that would lose TV when analog was turned off, yet there was no solution put into place until a few weeks before the transition.

Still, the transition went pretty smoothly all things considered. I can't really say that the government dropped the ball on this one. There is a certain amount of responsibility on these privately-owned TV stations to get their digital TV situation settled. But, that's an expensive proposition and a lot of smaller stations can hardly afford the added cost of converting their equipment to digital.

One thing is for sure, whatever issues the digital transition had wasn't by fault of the consumer. What do you think? How did the digital transition go for you?

Here is an article I put together featuring reader comments regarding digital TV and the digital transition.

The TruLink USB to VGA Adapter Kit by Cables To Go is capable of transmitting video content from a PC to a TV.

Someone like a video editor that wants to playback edits on a big screen TV, a family that wants to show off the trip to Europe to everyone at once without everyone crowded around the computer, or a PC gamer that wants to play on a bigger screen. Read more

Did you know that one of the biggest decisions you'll make when buying a Sony BRAVIA television is choosing the refresh rate?

What is a refresh rate?

You've probably seen the numbers while reading BRAVIA product details - 60Hz, 120Hz and 240Hz. These numbers represent the total number of scans performed on the screen within one second of time. How these scans impact you is in the quality of the on-screen image. Read more

Last year I blogged about a Sharp and Samsung legal battle over LCD patents, so it's prudent to provide an update on what has turned out to be a very sad week.

It hasn't reached Two Live Crew 'Banned in the USA.' status yet, but the U.S. International Trade Commission has banned Sharp products from being imported into the USA, according to a Twitter-like report from EngadgetHD. This ban includes the beloved Aquos line of LCD TVs.
