Morning Mix: Switch from Analog to Digital is Today

Sarah Ball
  • At Least 1 Million to Have TV Problems Today. As six decades of analog television come to an end today, at least 1 million homes are expected to be left without TV service, the Associated Press reports. In preparation, the FCC has 4,000 operators on standby and has set up demonstration centers in several cities. [Associated Press]

  • Gosselin Children Are Dehydrated. Kate Gosselin was filmed by Access Hollywood behind the scenes, refusing to share water with her very thirsty children--and blogs are calling her a bad mother.  So, you know, something new and different for today. [Gawker]

  • Bret Michaels is Angry With the Tonys. After retaining his good humor for a while there--saying he was recovering with help from Shrek and Donkey--Bret Michaels is lashing out at the Tony Awards, People reports. The statement is quite long, and concludes with this: "I thank the Good Lord I have a thick skull and I have a feeling this may have been my first and final curtain call at the Tonys." [People]

The DTV transition is no trouble at all if your cables are correctly polarized. Go to Screen 47 of the DTV Converter Box On-Screen Installation Guide and use the resident GPS to correctly align your antenna for each channel, allowing for local ionospheric conditions, and ARRRGGGHH!
