Re: WCOV-TV Facility ill No. 73642 Request for Waiver ofJuly 1, 2006 ReplicationlMaximization Deadline MB Docket No. 03-15 Dear Ms. Dortch:

Woods Communications Corporation ("Woods"), permittee ofWCOV-DT, Montgomery,

Alabama (the "Station"), by its attorneys, hereby respectfully requests a waiver ofthe

Commission's July 1, 2006 replication/maximization interference protection deadline. In

support, Woods respectfully submits the following:

1. WCOV-TV currently operates on NTSC Channel 20. Its current DTV channel is

Channel 16 and its tentative DTV Channel Designation is Channel 16. See Tentative Digital · -

Channel Designationsfor Stations Participating in the First and Second Rounds ofthe DTV

Channel Election Process, DA 06-1082, released May 23,2006 (Attachment A).\

2. In its Second DTVPeriodic Review Report and Orde?, the Commission adopted a July 1,2006 replication/maximization interference protection deadline for all DTV licenses not subject to the July 1, 2005 deadline. The Commission stated that, in cases where a station was unable to meet the applicable deadline due to "circumstances beyond a station's control," it would "grant extensions ofthe applicable replication or maximization interference protection deadline on a six-month basis ifgood cause is shown.,,3 To receive such a waiver, broadcasters were required to make a showing "similar to that required to obtain a waiver ofthe DTV construction deadlines." See Report and Order, ~ 87.

3. In its June 14,2005 Public Notice, the Commission recognized that certain stations although unable to reach 100 percent maximization or replication, nevertheless would be able to come close to meeting the applicable coverage requirements. The Commission requested that stations submit the following information in conjunction with any request for waiver: "(1) how close to full replication/maximization the station will be as ofthe deadline; (2) the reason

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 3 the station is unable to fully comply; (3) the cost to the station and the impact on viewers ifthe station were required to fully comply; (4) whether the station will be able to modify its operation to fully comply after analog operation terminates (e.g., relocate their DTV antenna to the top of the tower); and (5) any other relevant factors." Id.

Background

4. By a November 20, 2002 filing, Woods requested Special Temporary Authority

("STA") to build a minimum digital facility (Attachment B). The Commission granted the STA

(BDSTA-20021120ACR) and on October 6, 2003, Woods notified the Commission that it had commenced broadcast operations (Attachment C). At present, Woods has been operating pursuant to that STA.

5. On February 9, 2005, Woods, pursuant to FCC Form 382, elected to operate on

Channel 16 for its post-transition DTV operation (Attachment D). In light ofeconomic factors,

Woods intends to seek Commission consent to allow it to utilize Channel 20 for its post transition DTV channel. Woods intends to make such a request at the appropriate time.

Montgomery, Alabama Economic Overview

6. Station WCOV-TV is licensed to Montgomery, Alabama. The Montgomery-

Selma, Alabama area DMA ranks 116 according to Nielsen Media Research (Attachment E).

Nielsen also reports an estimate of245,090 homes with televisions in that market. Montgomery,

Alabama households that subscribe to cable service as ofMay, 2006 is 78.6%. Households that subscribe to an Alternate Delivery System (ADS) are 22.3% (Attachment F).

7. The 2000 U. S. Census reports that Montgomery, Alabama is home to 223,510 people. The report also shows that the medium family income for residents ofMontgomery is approximately $44,669.00. In addition, the Census Bureau notes that 13% ofthe city's families and 17% ofthe city's individuals are below poverty level (Attachment G). A large portion ofthe city's income comes from its agricultural roots. Many ofthe residents of Montgomery, Alabama rely on jobs such as processing and shipping cotton, dairy and other farm products. They are construction workers and minors. They work on freight carriers and barges and in manufacturing plants. The average hourly wage earning for manufacturing jobs is around $13.56

(statewide). The average price of a single-family home in Montgomery is $241,263.00

(Attachment H).

J:VI- FCC\WCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc · -

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 5

8. In relation to these statistics, Montgomery, Alabama is on the lower end ofthe national levels. The 2000 Census Report shows that the national average yearly income for U.S. residents is $50,046.00. The national average for families below poverty level is 9.2%, while for individuals it is 12.4% (Attachment I).

9. In the wake ofthe digital television era, areas that report lower income levels and higher costs ofliving could be affected by the FCC's mandatory transition from analog to digital.

Although approximately 67.5% ofthe country is already wired to receive digital transmission, statistics show most American families do not have a digital television set in their home

(Attachment J). In fact, a survey listed on the National Association ofBroadcasters website reports that Nielsen Media Research estimated that, ofthe 110,200,000 U.S. TV households

(2005-2006 TV season), only 5.9% ofthose households have digital television sets. In that same survey, Kagen research estimates that only 29 million households will have HDTV by the year

2008. Media Trends Track reiterates this estimated prediction in a report titled TV Basics on their website (Attachment K).

10. The expense and lack ofinformation regarding the conversion from analog to digital could be factors ofthe populations' lack ofinterest in purchasing digital televisions. The

J:\# FCC\WCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 6

Federal Communications Commission has developed a DTV website where consumers can get the facts regarding the transition from analog to digital (Attachment L (general». The Consumer

Electronics Association and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition have created a DTV

Tip Sheet for consumers to review before purchasing a digital television. Countless articles have been written in local communities and on the Internet to explain the new era in television. Yet, with all this information available, by the end of2005 only 5.9% ofU.S. Households had digital televisions in their homes (Attachment M and N). No figures are available as to the percentage ofhouseholds in Montgomery, Alabama which have digital television, but it is safe to assume that in light ofthe area's economic situation the percentage is less than the national percentage.

11. Costs and confusion on what to buy can be overwhelming to the public. A

Standard-Definition Television retails at Circuit City for a little over $500.00. Prices at Best Buy linger around the same price range. Enhanced-Definition Televisions are a little higher in price while High Definition Televisions can cost over $2,000.00 (Attachment 0). The FCC Consumer

Facts page advises that analog television sets will work with the "Plug-and-Play" method, but does not give consumers a projected cost estimate (Attachment P).

J:\JI FCC\WCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 7

12. Consumers are already paying anywhere between $45.00-$65.00 per month for basic wired cable or alternate delivery service (Attachment Q). The additional costs of either set- top boxes or a new digital television set will undoubtedly have an adverse affect on the monthly budgets ofconsumers. These factors must be considered in the analysis ofthe cost ofa maximization build-out and the actual population which would benefit.

Maximization Costs

13. The cost to build the maximized Channel 16 DTV facility for Woods is prohibitive. In this regard, the estimate to build the DTV facility is:

(a) Tower (1800 feet) $ 2,500,000

(b) Antenna, Mountings, Elbows $ 200,000

(d) Antenna and Transmission Line Installation $ 80,000

(e) DTV Transmitter and RF System (including installation) $ 900,000

(f) Transmitter Building $ 80,000

(g) Transmitter Building Electrical.. $ 50,000

(h) Microwave System, including antennas and transmission line ...... $ 60,000

]:\# FCC\WCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29,2006 Page 8

(i) Transmitter Building HVAC $ 15,000

Total $ 4,235,0004

In light of the scant population which has the capability to receive the WCOV DTV signal, it is not prudent to spend the required money. Obviously, Woods would not have the same argument in February, 2009, when all stations must broadcast in digital. Woods is taking steps to meet that deadline.

WCOV-TV and WCOV-DT Coverage

14. The current Grade B service for the analog construction permit for WCOV-TV

(File No. BPCT-20041103ADU) is 534,958. The current service from WCOV's STA for digital

operation (File No. BDSTA-20021120ACR) is 408,457.5 Finally, the proposed digital service

from the existing construction permit site (File No. BPCDT-19991021ACM) is 1,183,045

(Channel 20). The population pursuant to maximization on Channel 16 is 844,275.6 Thus, at the

present time, WCOV-DT is at 48 percent ofmaximization.

15. Montgomery, Alabama is served by the following TV facilities:

Montgomery Independent (See Attachment V).

17. Attachment W to the instant submission is Woods 2005 Tax Return (Redacted). 7

Attachment X is Woods 2005 Financial Statement (Redacted). 7 The forgoing financial

information demonstrates that while Woods is a "healthy" corporation, it does not have the

financial wherewithal to fund the construction ofmaximum DTV facilities. It would be particularly problematic for it to build the maximum Channel 16 facility and maintain the

7 Attachment Y is a request to withhold information from public inspection. That request is concurrently being filed with the Commission. Non-redacted documents shall be furnished to the Commission for in-camera review upon request.

Channel 20 analog facility. In this regard, post-transition, it could utilize its existing tower. That tower is unable to accommodate both the analog and digital antennas. See Declaration ofDavid

Woods (Attachment Z).

18. The Commission should also be aware that, as a result ofthe devastating affects ofHurricane Katrina, the Montgomery market and WCOV lost business in the 3rd quarter of

2005 and since. In this regard, revenues were lost from casino advertising. Specifically, Pearl

River Resort will not be back in operation until September, 2006 and Casino Magic will not be back in operation until August, 2006. In addition, expected advertising revenues from the

Tunica Convention Visitors Bureau did not materialize.

19. Moreover, due to the need for new trucks and automobiles in Mississippi and

Louisiana, local automobile dealers sent their inventory to these areas and did not have any incentive to advertise. Consequently, the market lost these advertising revenues. Similarly, home improvement stores such as Home Depot, Lowes and Wal-Mart diverted product to those areas that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina and did not spend as much on advertising in the

Montgomery market. See Statement ofMark Stover (Attachment AA).

J:\# FCaWCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 11

20. Woods is not in a position to maximize its Channel 16 digital allocation at this time. In this regard, as previously stated, its current tower is unable to hold both the Channel 20 and Channel 16 antennas. It is not economically feasible to build another tower. As previously indicated, as a result ofHurricane Katrina, it has suffered diminished revenues. Furthermore, the

Montgomery market is economically challenged.

21. In view ofthe foregoing, it is respectfully submitted that a waiver ofthe July 1,

2006 deadline is justified. It is submitted that grant ofthe waiver will serve the public interest.

Woods has worked diligently to establish and maintain its current DTV operations in the challenging and competitive Montgomery market. Today, as a result ofWoods efforts, its digital signal reaches a population of408,457. By granting Woods a waiver ofthe coverage requirement, the FCC will enable Woods to continue to provide DTV service on Channel 16 from the STA facility during the transition period while preserving its right to replicate its analog coverage with its permanent DTV operations upon conclusion ofthe transition period.

J:\# FCC\WCOV Request for Waiver Maximization Deadline.doc Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Esq. June 29, 2006 Page 12

For the reasons stated above, Woods respectfully requests that the FCC waive the interim

July 1,2006 DTV replication/maximization deadline. Ifyou have any questions regarding this request for a waiver ofthe July 1, 2006 replication/maximization deadline, please contact the undersigned.

Respectfully submitted,

Alternate Delivery Systems (ADS) refers to reception of 1V programming via satellite (DBS or Large Dish), or from satellite master antenna systems (SMA1V), or from multipoint distribution systems (MDS).

* 1V Households with wired cable as well as ADS are included in both the Wired cable and ADS columns. This causes the sum of Wired cable and ADS to be a larger number than the number in the cable and/or ADS column.

** Subscription 1V Households are those paying for video delivery. The percentages add up to more than 100% because households with both wired cable and ADS are included in both columns.

Those efforts will join the new amphitheatre, stadium, and riverwalk, and combine with an already thriving entertainment district. In addition, the city's revitalization efforts will include a new intermodal transportation center at Union Center. The center, funded in part by federal money to the tune of $8.1 million, will serve as a hub for the transportation system and the downtown trolley system.

In 2004 construction of four new shopping centers began under the development ofAronov Realty Management. Each new center is to be anchored by a Publix grocery store. The four centers will offer 500,000 square feet ofretail and business space. In 2004 the Headquarters Standards Systems Group (SSG) broke ground at Maxwell Airforce Base, Gunter Annex. SSG's new $12.6 million 51 ,450-square-foot Integrated Operational Support Facility is expected to be completed in 2006.

Also in 2004 plastics manufacturer Webster Industries expanded, opening a second operating facility and adding 300 new jobs. Production at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama is expected to begin in spring 2005. Hyundai's Montgomery plant will occupy 1,720 acres and pump out an estimated 300,000 vehicles and engines, as well as bring 2,000 jobs to the state.

TV Basics: Cable & VCR Households In the late 1940s an appliance dealer in western Pennsylvania put a large TV antenna on top of a mountain and brought TV signals to the valley below. By 1970 cable was in only 6.7% of the TV households. In 1975 HBD sent down signals via satellite, cable TV entered a new era, and by 1990 penetration was up to 56.4%. Currently, wired cable penetration is at 67.5%. VCR penetration grew much more rapidly, from 1.1% in 1980 to 68.6% by 1990. It is currently at the 90.2% level.

CHAIRMAN POWELL ANNOUNCES MAJOR DTV CONSUMER EDUCATION INITATIVE "DTV - Get It!"

Washington, DC - Today, FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell launched a multi-year, multi-phased consumer education and outreach campaign - "DTV - Get it!" - designed to inform the public about the digital television (DTV) transition and the availability of high-definition and other digital content and to provide resources for Americans interested in joining the DTV ranks.

Powell recognized the significant advances made by the government and the industry over the last several years in increasing the availability ofdigital and high-definition programming available to the American public. He also cited the growing popularity of DTV, and acknowledged consumer confusion about the changing digital television landscape.

"Although for the vast majority ofAmerican households, digital television may be uncharted territory, we will not let them go it alone," Powell said. "Ifyou have questions about digital television, the FCC is ready to serve as a primary resource for quick answers. Then we hope they will get DTV - get the set, get the connection, get the content," he said.

Powell unveiled a new web portal www.dtv.gov to serve as a one-stop source of information on the DTV transition and available high-definition programming. The site allows consumers to find a list of high-definition programming options available in their home, answers to frequently asked questions about the DTV transition and a guide for DTV shoppers.

The FCC also announced ajoint effort with the commitment from the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC) on the creation and distribution ofa DTV Tip Sheet. The new consumer tip sheet describes digital television features and equipment and provides a glossary ofcommon terms. The tip sheet also explains that TV sets with only analog tuners will need a separate converter box in the future to receive over-the-air signals after TV stations turn offtheir analog signals. CERC's Board Member companies-Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack and Tweeter-agreed to distribute the DTV Tip Sheet to the public at their retail outlets.

"I commend these retailers for helping eliminate consumer confusion where it is needed most-at the point of sale," Powell said. "We look forward to working with more retailers to make this DTV Tip Sheet available for distribution in their stores." -- FCC--

While it will be up to individual broadcasters to Start Shortcut determine which services they will make available with DTV, the technology of DTV will allow them to offer free television with movie-quality picture and CD- quality sound and a variety of other enhancements. DTV also will make possible the rapid Media Bureau Home delivery of large amounts of information services over your television set and will free up valuable broadcast spectrum so that it will be available for other information and MB People communications services.

DTV will present broadcasters with many new options for offering service to the MB Divisions public. Which services are offered will depend upon the broadcasters. With digital television, broadcasters will have the technology available to transmit a variety of Office of the Bureau Chief data as well as presenting television programs in new ways. This means that Audio Division, including broadcasters will be able to offer you an entire edition of a newspaper, or sports radio information, or computer software, or telephone directories, or stock market updates if they choose to do so. Not only will broadcasters be able to broadcast at least one Video Division, including high definition TV program, they may also, if they choose to, simultaneously transmit TV several standard definition TV programs. Another possibility is broadcasts in multiple Policy Division languages with picture and information inserts and in some cases viewers will have the opportunity to select camera angles. Industry Analysis Division Engineering Division An important additional benefit of DTV is that it will free up parts of the broadcast spectrum for public safety as well as other valuable business uses. This is Office of Communication & possible because the modern technology of DTV is more efficient than analog TV Industry Information technology (what you now have). DTV allows the same number of stations to broadcast using fewer total different channels (less of the broadcast spectrum) which Management and Resources Staff will free up scarce and valuable spectrum. The result is the freeing up of scarce and valuable spectrum for other communications uses. Broadcast spectrum no longer needed by broadcasters will be returned to the government for a variety of uses, including specific allocations to meet the vital communications needs of public safety, Official Documents police and fire departments. Lists of Media Bureau, Cable Services Bureau, Digital television will be available to you soon for several reasons. Last year, and Mass Media Bureau the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of additional broadcast spectrum to Official Documents each TV broadcaster so that they could introduce this new DTV service while Electronic Filing and simultaneously continuing with their current analog broadcasts. In order to ensure Public Access the successful introduction of DTV and to make it available to as many Americans as qUickly as possible, the Federal Communications Commission established an CARS Public Notices accelerated schedule for its introduction. Because of this FCC rule, most Americans are scheduled to have access to DTV by 1999 and everyone in this country is Media Bureau Reports scheduled to have DTV access by the year 2002. Media Bureau Staff Research Papers At the same time, it will take a number of years to convert fully to DTV because today's television sets are not designed to receive digital transmissions. In order to FCC Forms

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/po1icy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. ME, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 2 of 14

Media Bureau Forms provide a smooth transition to DTV service with as little disruption to the public as Certification of Open possible, and as provided in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC granted Video Systems each existing broadcaster an additional 6MHz channel to be used for digital transmissions. Each broadcaster will also retain its existing channel to continue Notices of Intent to broadcasting its current analog technology signal during the transition period. Establish Open Video Systems At the end of the transition period -- which is now scheduled for the year 2006 Inflation Updates for - broadcasters will be required to surrender one of the two channels. The transition Cable Forms period is subject to periodic progress reviews by the FCC. In addition, last fall Congress included provisions in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 that would extend Significantly Viewed List (4/6/06) analog service beyond the 2006 date if certain conditions exist. They include a variety of conditions such as: the failure of one or more of the largest TV stations in a market All cable communities to begin broadcasting digital TV signals due to causes outside the broadcasters registered with the FCC, control, or if fewer than 85% of the TV households in a market are able to receive MS Excel Format digital TV signals off the air either with a digital TV set or with an analog set equipped (updated daily).

Consumers will be able indefinitely to get link. service out of their existing television sets, but will not be able to see the DTV broadcasts without a special converter. In order to receive DTV you will have the Media Bureau option of purchasing a converter which can be used with your existing television. You Databases also will have the option of purchasing a digital TV, which will be expensive at first (just as color televisions were very expensive when they were first introduced), but which are expected to become more affordable when DTV is widely available.

The FCC has made clear that its goal in making DTV available to the public is to provide for the success of free, local digital broadcast TV. Broadcasters are allowed to use the channels according to their best business judgment -- as long as they continue to offer a free digital video programming service at least comparable in resolution to the service available today and aired during the same time periods. Broadcasters will be able to put together any package of digital products (including subscription services) which they think will be most productive and efficient. Some of the packages put together by broadcasters may include subscription ("pay") services too.

As far as timing is concerned, the FCC requires that in the top ten markets - which represents 30 percent of TV households -- affiliates of the top four networks must be on the air with a digital signal by May 1, 1999. In markets 11 through 30 - representing 53 percent of the country -- by November 1, 1999. Additionally a number of TV stations in the top ten markets have committed to bUilding their digital facilities by November 1, 1998 (in time for the holiday 1998 shopping season).

In order to provide DTV service while continuing to broadcast their analog programs, many television broadcasters may have to modify their transmission towers or construct new towers. Before modifying or bUilding towers, broadcasters may need to get approval from state, city or county governments regarding local zoning, physical engineering, construction, safety and other issues. In addition to zoning issues, your local government has the authority to make sure that any new construction is safe.

Last May, the FCC received a petition from the National Association of Broadcasters and the Association for Maximum Service Television (petitioners)

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/po1icy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC ME, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 3 of 14

arguing that local zoning regulations may make it impossible for many broadcasters to meet the schedule for the introduction of DTV. They expressed concern that the process of gaining approval from local authorities may take so long that the broadcasters won't be able to modify or construct their DTV towers in time to make DTV available on schedule. As a result, the petitioners asked the FCC to adopt a rule allowing preemption of local regulations and requiring a prompt local review process with federally established time limits.

Wanting input from the public on this petition, on August 19, 1997, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) on the matter. In issuing the NPRM, the FCC recognized the need to balance the important federal policy of expediting the implementation of DTV with the importance of being sensitive to the rights of states and localities to protect the interests of their citizens. The FCC made clear that the purpose of the NPRM was to solicit critically important public comment and not to infringe upon state and local rights.

Indeed, the FCC recognizes the importance of state and local authority to protect its citizens. The NPRM described the changes to FCC rules that the petitioner proposed and sought public comment to those changes. Specifically the FCC sought comment on the petitioners' proposal that it adopt a rule preempting local regulations where they interfere with the swift introduction of DTV. The NPRM also asked general questions about the impact of local regulations on the construction of broadcast towers and about the areas where local authority should be protected. Additionally, comments were sought on more specific issues such as whether the FCC should preempt local regulation intended for aesthetic purposes.

Comments were due on the NPRM on October 30, 1997. Reply comments were due December 1, 1997. Comments filed in this proceeding are available to the public in the FCC Reference Center in Room 239, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, D.C. or by calling International Transcription Service (ITS) at (202)857-3800, a commercial service that researches, retrieves and duplicates FCC documents.

It is important to note that the FCC has not reached any conclusions or made any final decisions on this matter. The NPRM is the beginning of the rulemaking process. The FCC is currently reviewing all of the comments that were filed and making sure all parties are heard. The FCC can either adopt a proposed rule, or some modified version of it, or decide not to adopt the proposal at all.

The Commission is hopeful that the broadcast industry and local governments will be able to develop strategies to achieve workable solutions with DTV implementation. Representatives of the Local and State Government Advisory Committee (LSGAC) established by the FCC have been meeting with FCC staff and with the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) to attempt to work together to resolve this situation.

Antenna Towesl.i9hting_andMarking Requirements

The following questions and answers were compiled by FCC staff to help inform consumers, broadcasters, and local communities and officials, about digital television and DTV implementation. They cover questions about the nature of digital television, how it affects the public, what kinds of changes in services and products it will provide, the schedule for the transition to digital television, the facilities necessitated by the transition to digital television, and the regulation and safety issues raised by new facilities necessary to provide DTV service.

I. What is digital television (DTV)?

Digital television (DTV) is a new type of broadcasting technology that will

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. MB, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 5 of14

transform television as we now know it. Pursuant to Congressional authorization, the Commission has established rules for the transition to this new technology. By transmitting the information used to make a TV picture and sound as "data bits" (as does a computer), a digital broadcaster can carry more information than is currently possible with analog broadcast technology. This will allow for the transmission of pictures with higher resolution for dramatically better picture and sound quality than is currently available, or of several "standard definition" TV programs at once. ("Standard definition" digital TV pictures would be similar in clarity and detail to the best TV pictures being received and displayed today using the current (analog NTSC) broadcast system and TV receivers.) The DTV technology can also be used to transmit large amounts of other data that you may be able to access using your computer or you r television set.

2. How will digital television be different than current broadcast television?

With digital television, broadcasters will be able to offer free television of higher resolution and better picture quality than now exists under the current mode of TV transmission. If broadcasters so choose, they can offer what has been called "high definition television" or HDTV, television with theater-quality pictures and CD-quality sound. Alternatively, a broadcaster can offer several different TV programs at the same time, with pictures and sound quality better than is generally available today. In addition, a broadcaster will be able to simultaneously transmit a variety of other information through a data bitstream to both enhance its TV programs and to provide entirely new services. For example, TV programs can be broadcast with a variety of languages and captions, and sports programs can be broadcast so that the individual viewer might select his or her favorite camera angle or call up player statistics, game scores or other information. Broadcasters also will be able to transmit to your television an entire edition of a newspaper, sports information, computer software, telephone directories, stock market updates, interactive educational material and any other information which can be translated into digital bits.

3. Will I still be able to watch my favorite TV programs? Will there be more or different broadcast TV service available with DTV?

Digital television is simply a new way of transmitting programming material. The programming carried depends upon the broadcaster. The programs themselves will not necessarily change, except to the extent that the pictures and sound will be better and a greater variety of effects and enhancements will be possible. Each broadcaster will also be able to offer several programs at the same time through its DTV channel capacity. There is a trade-off between using digital transmission capacity for improved pictures and sound and using it to transmit additional programs. Also, broadcasters will be able to devote some capacity to offering a variety of other information services. The determination of how much capacity to devote to improved pictures and how much to devote to additional programs or other services is up to each broadcaster and their response to viewer demands. In any event, digital broadcasters are required to carry, at a minimum, one video programming stream of visual quality that is equal to or better than that now available on their analog channel.

During the transition to DTV, during which time broadcasters will operate both analog (NTSC) and digital channels, broadcasters will decide which programs to put on which channel, and may decide to "simulcast" programs on both stations (that is, air the same program at the same time on both the digital and analog stations). (Federal rules, in fact, require a certain amount of simulcasting during the transition.)

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. ME. DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 6 of 14

The government has provided for a transition period, until at least the year 2006, during which broadcasters will continue to operate their old analog stations.

4. How will digital television benefit the public?

The advent of DTV will benefit the public because of the improved quality, and possibly quantity, of free television service and the potential availability of much more information on your television set. In addition, one of the most important benefits of DTV is the fact that it will free up parts of the broadcast spectrum and allow its return to the government for other important uses. A part of this additional spectrum has already been designated for public safety, police and fire usage, and other options will be available for other business purposes.

s. Why will more of the broadcast spectrum be available for public safety use? When will it be available?

More of the broadcast spectrum will be available for public safety use by local communities because DTV allows the same number of stations to broadcast using fewer total different channels (less of the spectrum) which will free up scarce and valuable spectrum. Broadcast spectrum that is no longer needed by eXisting broadcasters will be returned to the government and used for public safety, police and fire departments as well as other uses (including, possibly, additional television channels). This spectrum holds the potential for federal, state and local law enforcement and other safety agencies to share state of the art communications networks to enhance both their individual and their collective effectiveness.

The transition to DTV-only service is currently scheduled for the end of 2006, subject to periodic review an depending on DTV availability. After the transition is complete, broadcasters will be required to return to the government a portion of the spectrum currently used for analog stations, and a portion of that spectrum has already been be allocated for public safety, police and fire usage at that time in the future. Once the Commission makes a final determination as to how to allocate these frequencies to individual users, municipalities, counties, states and qualifying safety agencies will need to go through a licensing process to authorize their use.

6. Will I need a new television to receive DTV?

Not necessarily. During the transition period established for the changeover - until at least 2006 -- consumers who wish to rely on analog program service can continue to use their existing sets to receive that service, but they will not be able to see the DTV broadcasts without a special converter. Broadcasters will continue to operate their current stations until that time, and consumers will be able to get many more years of service during the useful lives of their existing television sets.

Consumers who wish to keep their existing sets and also want to receive the DTV programming will be able to purchase converters which will allow them to view digital programs on their current sets. The pictures should be clear of the "ghosts" and interference characteristic of analog transmission, although they will not be of the higher DTV picture quality. To receive the full benefits of digital television service, you will need a new digital television set.

7. Are the new digital television sets very expensive?

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC, MB, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 7 of 14

Just as color television sets were very expensive when they were first introduced, the new digital TVs will be qUite expensive at first, with manufacturers concentrating initially on "high-end" models. The price is expected to drop over time, so that by the time OTV broadcasts are available everywhere across the country, digital television sets should be more affordable. In the meantime (and as a permanent alternative) you will have the option of purchasing a converter box which can be used to adapt your current television set for digital use, so that your current television will not be made obsolete. The price of converter boxes is expected to drop below $100 during the transition period to full-OTV service.

8. What will the new digital television sets look like?

New OTV sets will have wider screens than current TV sets, allowing the pictures to be viewed more like those experienced in a movie theater. The wider picture, especially in larger set sizes, is expected to enhance sports and drama viewing, making you feel more involved in the action, as well as rendering more realistic pictures. As with current TV sets, a range of sizes eventually will be available, although initially larger screensize DTV sets probably will be most common. Larger screen size takes greatest advantage of the higher "resolution" of OTV pictures and may better justify the initially high price of the first OTV receivers. The expectation is also that there will be a range of prices that will coincide with a range of picture quality, as with current TV sets.

9. Will I be able to continue receiving regular television?

Regular analog television service, what is broadcast today, will continue until the end of the transition period which currently is set to continue through the year 2006. In addition, a law passed by Congress last fall includes provisions which would extend the time period for continuation of analog service beyond the year 2006 if OTV service and OTV equipment are not as widespread by then as currently expected.

10. Will I need a special new antenna in order to receive DTV over the air?

In general, dependable reception of OTV will require the same type of signal reception equipment that currently works to provide good quality reception of analog TV signals. If you now need a roof-top antenna in order to receive television, the same antenna generally will be needed to receive OTV reception.

11. Why can't there be DTV in addition to the television system we now have?

Congress has determined that the broadcast television service must eventually convert completely to digital transmissions.

In fact, the modern technology of OTV is more efficient than analog TV technology, meaning that it will allow the same number of stations to broadcast more program material using less radio spectrum. This will free up scarce and valuable spectrum for other communications uses. OTV and analog channels, however, cannot operate on the same channel in the same location at the same time. It would be highly inefficient, expensive, and wasteful to allocate spectrum to operate two sets of TV stations permanently, so exclusive service in one method of transmission is necessary, and a determination has been made to provide the public with the superior service possible with OTV. Also, the recovery of spectrum for public safety and other uses depends upon the replacement of analog TV broadcasting with more

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. MB, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 8 of 14

efficient DTV broadcasts.

12. How long will it take for the conversion to DTV? What is the schedule for conversion to DTV?

The FCC established an accelerated schedule for the introduction of DTV. Pursuant to this schedule, most Americans will have some access to DTV by 1999 and everyone in this country will have DTV access by the year 2002. At the same time, analog service will also continue until 2006. After the end of this transition period, broadcasters will broadcast only DTV.

More specifically, affiliates of the top four networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC) in the top ten markets must be on the air with a digital signal by May 1, 1999. In markets 11 through 30, the same network affiliates must be on the air by Nov. 1, 1999. All other commercial stations must be constructed by May 1, 2002. Several TV stations in the top ten markets voluntarily have committed to begin digital television service by Nov. 1, 1998.

13. What happens if digital television is not widely available by the end of the transition period?

The transition period to DTV is currently scheduled to end on December 31, 2006. This transition period is subject to periodic progress reviews by the FCC to make sure DTV service is widely available. In addition, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, passed last fall by the Congress, includes provisions that would extend the continuation of analog service beyond the year 2006 deadline if DTV is implemented more slowly than expected. Specific conditions which would extend the transition period include the failure of one or more of the largest TV stations in a market to begin broadcasting digital TV signals through no fault of their own, or fewer than 85% of the TV households in a market are able to receive digital TV signals off the air either with a digital TV set or with an analog set equipped with a converter box or by subscription to a cable-type service that carries the DTV stations in the market.

14. What must a TV station do to convert to DTV?

The answers depends upon the individual circumstances of the TV station. All TV stations will need a new transmitter, antenna and production facilities. Some TV broadcasters will have to modify their antenna towers or construct new towers for their DTV antennas. Before modifying or building towers, broadcasters may need to get approval from state, city or county governments regarding local zoning, structural engineering, construction, safety, and other issues.

15. Will there be a lot of new towers for DTV?

Whether a broadcaster may use his own or another existing tower for DTV or build a new tower depends upon the circumstances of the local television station. The allocation plan for DTV channels (the plan that determines precisely where each DTV channel can be fit consistent with other analog and DTV channels) is based on a presumption of broadcasters using existing antenna sites. In some communities, broadcasters will be able to modify existing structures to accommodate an additional DTV antenna; in others, they may have to construct new towers. In many communities which will need new towers to accommodate DTV, the broadcasters are exploring the possibility of sharing towers, to reduce the amount of construction and the number of towers in the community.

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. MB. DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 9 of 14

Of the fifty stations that have submitted their applications to the FCC so far, all but a very few propose to use existing towers or other existing structures to mount their antennas. It is premature, however, to predict from this small sample what the overall needs will be. The first stations to build their DTV facilities may not be representative, as their decision to initiate DTV early may be due, in part, to the availability of existing towers for their antennas.

16. Do DTV stations require very tall towers?

Not necessarily; DTV height requirements are no different from those of analog TV. Locating any TV transmitting antenna on a high point -- whether on a mountain, a skyscraper or a tall tower -- will expand the area which can receive its signal. While it is not absolutely necessary for DTV stations to build towers any taller than existing analog antenna towers, taller towers will increase the number of homes that can receive digital signals, and possibly reduce the number of towers required for digital television.

17. Where will the new towers be located? Will my local government have a say in where the towers will be built? How soon will they be built?

The location of any new towers will be determined by the local broadcasters, depending on the service area they need to cover and the land that is available, subject to the FCC's approval of the construction permit application and local approval, zoning bUilding and safety regulations. This will require broadcasters to work with their communities and local governmental authorities in order to qUickly determine where the towers will be situated and to obtain the necessary approvals. In many cases, the construction of new towers will not be necessary; broadcasters may be able to put digital television antennas on the same towers as other existing communications facilities. In some cases, broadcasters may be able to mount small antenna structures on existing buildings.

In the top ten markets in the country, affiliates of the four networks must have their transmission facilities in place by May 1, 1999, and some stations have committed to bUilding their facilities even earlier than this. In markets 11 through 30, they must have their facilities by Nov. 1, 1999. New DTV transmitting antennas must be installed and any new towers must be constructed before the stations can be on the air with their digital television signals.

18. Are DTV Towers hazardous to airplane navigation? What has the FCC done to make sure airplanes and airports won't be affected by the new towers and modifications?

The Commission works in concert with the FAA to promote air safety through the antenna structure registration process. The Commission requires that the safety of any tower over 200 feet above ground level or any tower within certain proximity to public use airports be reviewed by the FAA. Information required on the FCC construction permit form advises the FCC staff as to whether such a tower location or height is involved. Applicants for construction permits for any such towers are required by FCC rules to notify the FAA of the proposed construction before the construction or alteration is to begin or before an application for a construction permit is filed. The FAA determines whether it believes the antenna structure constitutes a potential hazard, and may recommend appropriate painting/lighting or other conditions for the structure. The Commission then uses the FAA's recommendation to impose specific requirements on subject licensees to ensure the safety of the tower

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC, ME, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 10 of 14

with respect to air navigation.

If you would like more information on issues related to towers and aviation, you can call the Federal Aviation Administration's Public Inquiry Center at (202) 267 3484, or write to the Federal Aviation Administration at 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20591 or visit their website at: www.faa.gov. For additional information about the Commission's antenna structure registration process, visit the antenna structure registration homepage at: www.fcc.govjwtbjantenna.

19. How does the FCC or the FAA determine what lighting and painting is appropriate for a particular structure? Does the public have input into the process of determining whether a structure may constitute an aviation hazard or in determining how a tower should be lighted or painted?

Congress has authorized the FCC to require the painting andjor illumination of an antenna tower whenever it determines that such a tower otherwise constitutes a hazard to air navigation (47 USC § 303(q)). The FCC's rules governing antenna tower lighting and painting requirements (47 CFR §§ 17.21-17.58) are based on the FAA painting and lighting recommendations set forth in two FAA Advisory Circulars: "ACj7460-1J, "Obstruction Marking and Lighting," November 29,1995, and AC 150j5345-43E, "Specification for Obstruction Lighting Equipment," October 19, 1995. These FAA Circulars set forth detailed specifications for lighting and painting various types and sizes of structures, including towers and the standards and specifications set forth in them are incorporated by reference into the FCC's rules. Thus, although the FAA lighting and painting standards are advisory in nature, the FCC's rules make such standards mandatory for antenna towers.

If the FAA standards allow more than one lighting or painting option for a particular structure, the person submitting notice of proposed construction to the FAA on FAA Form 7460-1 may indicate the type of marking and lighting system desired on the form and the FAA will consider these preferences in conducting its aeronautical study. If an antenna tower owner proposes to deviate from the FAA standard marking and lighting requirements, the FAA will examine the safety of the owner's proposal. In conducting a study of the safety of an antenna tower, the FAA may solicit comments from all interested persons or convene a public meeting of all interested persons for the purpose of gathering all facts relevant to the effect of the proposed construction on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace.

If you would like more information on issues related to towers and aviation, we have additional information at our AntgODC:'lTQwer Lighting and Marking Requirements web page or you can call the Federal Aviation Administration's Public Inquiry Center at (202) 267-3484, or write to the Federal Aviation Administration at 800 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20591 or visit their website at: www.faa.gov.

20. Do the FCC and the FAA have a height limit for towers?

Although there is no absolute height limit for antenna towers, both agencies have established a rebuttable presumption against structures over 2,000 feet above ground level. The FCC has a policy that applications filed with the FCC for antenna towers higher than 2,000 feet above ground will be presumed to be inconsistent with the public interest and the applicant will have a burden of overcoming that strong presumption. The applicant must accompany its application with a detailed showing directed to meeting this burden. Only in the exceptional case, where the Commission

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. MB, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 11 of 14

concludes that a clear and compelling showing has been made that there are public interest reasons requiring a tower higher than 2,000 feet above ground, and after the parties have complied with applicable FAA procedures, and full Commission coordination with FAA on the question of menace to air navigation, will a grant be made (47 CFR § 1.61 Note).

The FAA presumption against construction of structures over a certain height is set forth in the FAAJJJI~s. A proposed structure or an alteration to an existing structure that exceeds 2,000 feet in height above the ground will be presumed to be a hazard to air navigation and to result in an inefficient utilization of airspace and the applicant has the burden of overcoming that presumption. Each notice submitted under the FAA rules proposing a structure in excess of 2,000 feet above ground must contain a detailed showing, directed to meeting this burden. Only in exceptional cases, where the FAA concludes that a clear and compelling showing has been made that it would not result in an inefficient utilization of the airspace and would not result in a hazard to air navigation, will a determination of no hazard be issued (14 CFR § 77.17(c)).

21. Will my local community leaders have any say in tower construction issues?

Yes, since your local community and state leaders control zoning and other permits, the broadcasters will often have to apply to local authorities before modifying existing towers or bUilding new ones if they need to do so for the DTV antenna. Your local elected officials will have the opportunity to apply their zoning and safety standards to requests for modification of existing towers or new bUilding requests. Your local elected officials will make sure that any new construction is safe.

In order to expedite the process, broadcasters need to provide as much advance information as possible to local authorities and in turn, the local officials should work with the broadcasters to make clear their concerns and needs in order to comply with particular local laws in an expeditious manner so as not to unduly delay the introduction of DTV service.

22. What is the status of the FCC's rulemaking proceeding on the broadcast industry's request for federal limits on the time it takes for state and local authorities to rule on tower sitings?

In May of 1997, the FCC received a petition from the National Association of Broadcasters and the Association for Maximum Service Television arguing that local zoning regulations may make it impossible for many broadcasters to meet the schedule for introduction of DTV. Expressing concern that the local approval process would take too long, these petitioners asked the FCC to adopt a rule allOWing preemption of local regulations when those regulations or review process exceeded a particular length of time that would delay the introduction of DTV.

Seeking input from the public, the FCC issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) on this matter in August 1997. The FCC recognized the need to balance the important federal policy of expediting the implementation of DTV with the importance of being "sensitive to the rights of states and localities" to protect the interests of their citizens. The FCC made clear that the purpose of the NPRM was to solicit critically important public comment and not to infringe upon state and local rights.

The FCC has not reached any conclusions or made any final decisions on this

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/poIicy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC. MS. DTV Facts. FAQs. and Tower Siting Page 12 of 14

matter. All of the comments are being reviewed and considered and the FCC is ensuring that all the parties are heard. A tremendous volume of comments has been submitted by the public, local and state regulators, state and national legislators and the various industries affected. In the interim, television broadcasters and representatives of state and local governments are meeting to explore ways to cooperate and to have FCC personnel supply information and expertise to the local governments to facilitate the approval process.

Comments filed in this proceeding are available to the public in the FCC Reference Center in Room 239, 1919 M St., N.W., Washington, D.C. or by calling International Transcription Service (ITS) at (202)857-3800, a commercial service that researches, retrieves and duplicates FCC documents.

23. What has the FCC done to protect against the possibly harmful effects of radiofrequency (RF) emission from a television transmission?

In 1996, pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC revised its methods of evaluating the environmental effects of RF emissions on human health. These revised gUidelines are the result of review by all of the federal agencies that are expert in the effects of radiofrequency radiation on human health, including FDA, EPA, OSHA and NIOSH. These guidelines apply to all FCC-regulated transmission facilities, including new digital broadcast television stations. In evaluating applications for DTV tower construction permits (as well as permits for other broadcast facilities), the FCC reviews the results of the applicants' technical analysis of how their facilities would meet the Commission's new requirements, designed to protect the public from exposure to harmful levels of RF energy. This analysis includes the cumulative effects of the new DTV facility in addition to all preexisting emitters.

As a practical matter, broadcast towers are usually, although not always, constructed far from heaVily populated areas, so that people are not in danger of exposure to high levels of RF radiation. Many broadcast towers are in "antenna farms,"which are usually located away from populated areas. When an applicant applies for a construction permit or license renewal, the FCC requires the applicant to demonstrate how they would protect the public from any dangerous RF emissions. This would occur, if at all, in close proximity to the site, and protection usually involves putting up warning signs or fences or otherwise restricting access.

24. Will DTV stations cause interference with any other technologies?

Certain medical telemetry devices, such as cardiac monitors, are allowed to use TV broadcast channels that are unoccupied in their geographic area. As they transition to DTV, however, television stations are now beginning to use these formerly unoccupied TV channels. When this occurs, the digital signal may interfere with medical telemetry systems. The FCC and the Food and Drug Administration are taking steps to avert such cases of interference in the future before they happen.

Medical telemetry devices have long shared the TV broadcast spectrum on a secondary basis. This sharing can continue during the implementation of digital television. However, it is important to ensure that broadcasters, the health care community and manufacturers of medical devices have adequate information and take appropriate steps to avoid radio frequency interference.

The FCC and the FDA have taken several steps to address interference to medical telemetry devices. Specifically, the FCC is working with the National

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/ 6/12/2006 FCC, ME, DTV Facts, FAQs, and Tower Siting Page 13 of 14

Association of Broadcasters to ensure that TV broadcasters communicate with area hospital and other health care facilities to avoid interference to medical telemetry devices as well as contacting manufacturers of the devices to ask they assist their customers in finding vacant channels. The FDA is sending a Public Health Advisory to all U.S. hospitals and nursing homes alerting them to the problem. The FDA will work with medical device manufacturers to ensure that the devices will be adequately labeled and to alert users to take steps to avoid interference.

To avoid future problems{ the FCC and the FDA will work together to explore the long term spectrum needs of medical devices. The agencies also will work with equipment manufacturers and the health care community to consider various long term technology improvements. MOLe infQrmation about how the FCC and FDA are addressing these interference issues is available on the FCC's website at www.fcc.gov. and at the FDA website at www.fda.gov.

25. Who will own the new DTV stations?

Initially, the DTV stations will be owned by the same broadcasters that currently own television stations in your communities. In the Telecommunications Act of 1996{ Congress authorized the Commission to allocate a new digital station to each existing television licensees for each analog station it owns and operates. Pursuant to Congress' direction{ during the transition to DTV{ the new DTV stations will be owned and operated by the same broadcasters who had been operating analog stations on a one-for-one basis. Once the transition is complete{ some DTV licenses may be available for new entities.

26. Where can local government officials or a DTV licensee find assistance in understanding some of the complex issues involved in tower construction and siting to facilitate the swift resolution ofzoning/permitting proceedings?

The stations themselves can explain much of the technical information submitted in such a proceeding{ and are typically willing to do so. In addition{ the State and Local Advisory Committee (L,SGAC) will be bUilding expertise in these areas and will be disseminating information in a variety of ways{ and will have members willing to share their experience. The FCC will be maintaining and updating this website in response to frequently asked questions{ and actively distributing this information by other appropriate channels. Additionally{ the FCC has staff with expertise in RF emissions{ licensing and jurisdictional issues that can provide assistance. We recognize that these local zoning and permitting proceedings can be complex and sometimes contentious. The FCC's expert resources can be helpful in establishing the facts needed to bring the decisional process to closure. (Recently, our staff successfully assisted the local authorities in expediting local permitting for the DTV implementation at Mt. Sutro Tower in San Francisco.) The FCC staff can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected], or by calling (202) 418-2120 and asking for a member of the DTV Tower Group.

27. Where can I get more information about any of these questions and issues?

For more information about the transition to digital television, you can e-mail questions to the Media Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission at [email protected]. If you have remarks about the information presented here, we would like to hear from you and you can address those remarks to [email protected].

Radio Frequency Ernission Safety Guidelines

On June 2, 2000, the Commission and the Local and State Government Advisory Committee jointly issued a Local Government Official's Guide to Transmitting Antenna RF Emission Safety.

CHAIRMAN POWELL ANNOUNCES MAJOR DTV CONSUMER EDUCATION INITATIVE "DTV - Get It!"

Washington, DC - Today, FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell launched a multi-year, multi-phased consumer education and outreach campaign - "DTV - Get it!" - designed to inform the public about the digital television (DTV) transition and the availability ofhigh-definition and other digital content and to provide resources for Americans interested in joining the DTV ranks.

Powell recognized the significant advances made by the government and the industry over the last several years in increasing the availability ofdigital and high-definition programming available to the American public. He also cited the growing popularity ofDTV, and acknowledged consumer confusion about the changing digital television landscape.

Powell unveiled a new web portal www.dtv.gov to serve as a one-stop source of information on the DTV transition and available high-definition programming. The site allows consumers to find a list ofhigh-definition programming options available in their home, answers to frequently asked questions about the DTV transition and a guide for DTV shoppers.

The FCC also announced a joint effort with the commitment from the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) and the Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC) on the creation and distribution ofa DTV Tip Sheet. The new consumer tip sheet describes digital television features and equipment and provides a glossary ofcommon terms. The tip sheet also explains that TV sets with only analog tuners will need a separate converter box in the future to receive over-the-air signals after TV stations turn offtheir analog signals. CERe's Board Member companies-Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack and Tweeter-agreed to distribute the DTV Tip Sheet to the public at their retail outlets.

"I commend these retailers for helping eliminate consumer confusion where it is needed most-at the point ofsale," Powell said. "We look forward to working with more retailers to make this DTV Tip Sheet available for distribution in their stores." -- FCC--

Digital television (DTV) is an entirely new technology that will ultimately replace today's analog television f View all Televisions articles system. Digital signals are transmitted using computer code - ones and zeroes - which means they are less f View all Click & Learn susceptible to interference and provide a higher quality picture and sound than analog. articles

High-definition TV (HDTV) High-definition TV (HDTV) is the best quality DTV. HDTV's sound and picture quality are many times better Ulan today's analog TV. DTV also can be standard definition (SO) [good] or enhanced definition (ED) [better].

What you need to watch DTV DTV (including HDTV) is available over-the-air using a standard antenna or via digital cable or satellite. No matter how you receive your TV signal (cable, satellite or over-the-air), you will need DTV equipment to watch the DTV programming. DTV equipment may be purchased as an all-in-one or component solution. "Integrated" DTV sets with built-in tuners are an all-in-one solution for DTV - they include a digital tuner to receive over-the-air DTV broadcasts and a monitor to display the programming. A "component" solution includes a DTV monitor (screen) without a DTV tuner (these monitors are sometimes labeled "HD Ready'') Monitors must be paired with a cable or satellite set-top box, or stand-alone DTV tuner. "Digital cable ready" (or "plug-and-play") televisions are also available that can be used to receive digital cable TV without a separate set-top box. A CableCARD that can be plugged into the set is needed for certain cable programming. Analog TVs will need additional equipment to receive over-the-air television when the DTV transition ends. Today most people have analog televisions. All broadcast TV stations in the country have temporary use of a second, separate channel so that they can transition from analog broadcasting to digital. The current target for ending analog broadcasting is December 31, 2006, but this date is likely to be extended, possibly for another 2 years. When analog broadcasting ends, consumers with analog sets will need to obtain a separate converter box to watch over-the-air TV. Analog sets equipped with a converter box will display the digital broadcasts, but not in full digital quality.

DTV comes in three levels of picture quality, as described below HDTV Monitor (sometimes called HDTV Ready): A set that can display HDTV programming if you have a separate HDTV tuner, HD cable set-top box or HD satellite set-top-box receiver. HDTV Tuner (also decoder, receiver, set-top box): A device capable of receiving and outputting HDTV signals for display. May be stand-alone or integrated in the set. Integrated HDTV: An HDTV that has the digital tuner built into the set. It does not need a separate set-top box to receive over-the-air DTV signals. Plug-and-Play or Digital Cable Ready: A DTV or other device for digital cable customers that plugs directly into the cable jack and does not require a separate set-top box. Plug-and-play TV owners must obtain a CableCARD from their cable company in order to view scrambled programming services. Interlace Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the odd lines first, then filling in the even lines (this happens instantaneously). Progressive Scan: A way to scan vertical lines onto a TV picture by scanning all the lines consecutively (progressively).

How do I receive HDTV?

First and foremost, the program you want to watch must be transmitted in high-definition. That's not to say that you won't be able to watch the program if it's not, but it definitely won't have the same visual "wow factor" if it's not transmitted that way.

http://www.wsfa.com/Global/story.asp?S=4488969 6/8/2006 WSFA TV Montgomery, AL - HDTV Buyers Guide Page 2 of6

Signals are transmitted to televisions three ways: over-the-air broadcast, cable service, or via direct broadcast satellite. At home, the signal must move through your antenna, cable or satellite dish to the receiver (either via an integrated set or a set-top receiver). Your cable or satellite service may require a special HDTV set-top box or service. Call your provider for info.

If you don't have cable or satellite service, fear not and just pick up an antenna. Some people put an antenna on the roof of their homes, while others can use good, old fashioned rabbit ears. If you are in the U.S., check out the handy color-coded antenna mapping gUide at www.antennaweb.org, from Consumer Electronics Association and Decisionmark, to find out your specific area's antenna status.

Guide to DTV

What is digital television?

Digital television (DTV) is a new technology that will replace today's analog system. Digital signals are transmitted using computcr code, which means they are less susceptible to interference and provide a higher quality picture and sound than analog. DTV is not always HDTV.

High-definition TV (HDTV) is the best quality DTV. HOTV's sound and picture quality are many times better than today's analog TV. OTV can also be standard definition (SD) [good] or enhanced definition (ED) [better].

What you need to watch DTV: DTV (including HDTV) is available over the air using a standard antenna, or via digital cable or satellite. No matter how you receive your TV signal, you will need DTV equipment to watch DTV programming.

DTV equipment may be purchased as an all-in-one or component solution. "Integrated" DTV sets with built-in tuners are and all-in-one solution for DrV. They include a digital tuner to receive over-the-air DTV broadcasts and a monitor to display the programming.

A "component" solution includes a OTV monitor without a DTV tuner. These monitors are sometimes labeled "HD ready." Monitors must be paired with a cable or satellite set-top box, or a stand-alone DTV tuner.

"Digital cable ready" or "plug and play" televisions can receive digital cable TV without a set-top box. A separate plug-in card (CableCARD) is needed for certain programming.

Analog TVs will eventually need extra equipment to receive over-the-air signals.

The target date for ending analog broadcasting is Dec. 31, 2006, but this date may be extended. When analog broadcasting ends, consumers with analog sets will need to obtain a separate converter box to watch ovcr-the-air TV.

Tips on buying a digital TV

Asher Moses, CNET.com.au March 31, 2006 URL:

• Introduction

All Australian free-to-air TV broadcasters have been transmitting their signals digitally for now. Our cable television networks (i.e. ) have also made the move to digital, so it's natural that if you haven't done so yet, you will be considering upgrading to a digital TV set in the near future.

But don't be fooled -- just because the networks are transmitting a digital signal, doesn't necessarily mean that your home is set up to receive them in an optimal manner. This is the case regardless of whether or not you've got a digital set-top box hooked up.

Sure, connecting a digital TV tuner or a Foxtel Digital box to a regular analog TV will enable you to receive high quality digital signals, but if your TV isn't capable of displaying them, they'll just be converted back to an analog resolution anyway. In other words, it's a waste of money. Therefore, not only do broadcasters have to film and transmit their signals digitally, you must have the ability to receive and display said signals to take full advantage of the technology.

When making big-ticket purchases such as a new TV, it's important to never rely solely on the stores' sales assistants to provide accurate buying directions. A wrong decision, whether it results from poor advice or buyer ignorance, can truly kill your home theatre experience. So listen up. We'll step you through the process and provide the critical knowledge to make purchasing a digital TV a much easier and more satisfying task.

http://wwv•. cnct.com.au/tvs/print.htm?TYPE=story&AT=40059529-39035250t-30000056c, 6/13/2006 Tips on huying a digital TV - TVs - CNET.com.au Page 2 of 11

, Why you should upgrade

Why you should upgrade

There are five primary reasons why upgrading to a digital TV set is the right way to go:

1. Better image quality The main benefit of digital TV lies in its increased resolution. A typical analog PAL TV signal features 576 lines of resolution, but this is decreased somewhat once you take into account . On the other hand, a digital TV signal boasts as high as 1080 lines of resolution.

Unfortunately, Australian law dictates that broadcasters can classify any digital signal above 576 lines in mode (576p) as being high-definition (HD). As a result, ABC, SBS and Seven all broadcast their HD content in 576p, while Nine and Ten use 1080i and are therefore the only free-to-air broadcasters that offer a proper, high resolution HD service. Standard definition (SO) signals vary between broadcasters, but can be as low as 576i, which is the same effective resolution as a regular analog signal.

576p only offers a slightly better picture than regular analog signals, so if you're primarily watching channels ABC, SBS and Seven then a super high-resolution TV may be overkill. Thankfully, many of our country's largest consumer electronics manufacturers are currently pressing the government to increase the minimum HD resolution. We'll keep you updated on their progress.

Regardless of the current broadcasting climate, to gain maximum benefit from digital TV it's imperative that the tuner you use is capable of receiving 1080i signals. It's also important that the TV itself boasts a high native resolution, preferably with as close to 1080 horizontal lines as possible (i.e. 1024x1 024 features 1024 horizontal lines of resolution). Don't worry if the resolution isn't exactly 1080 horiztonal lines, because digital TV sets also include a converter to bring the pure 1080i signal down to a resolution that the set can handle.

Overall, the increased resolution when compared to an analog TV set results in each on-screen object being made up of a greater number of pixels, ultimately increasing detail and picture quality. More information regarding the differences between SO and HD broadcasts can be found

http://www.cneLcom.au/tvs/prinLhtm?TYPE=story&AT=40059529-39035250t-30000056c 6/1312006 Tips on buying a digital TV - TVs - CNET.com.au Page 3 of 11

2. Clearer sound All digital broadcasts offer MPEG-1 Layer 1/ audio (the same as that found on a regular audio CD), with some programs using Dolby Digital 2.0 and surround sound. This is far more vibrant than regular analog audio and brings us even closer to a cinematic experience at home.

3. Widescreen An advantage that all HD and many SO television sets offer is a 16:9 widescreen . The 'widescreen' moniker was given because a 16:9 image boasts sixteen inches of width for every nine inches of height.

Analog and certain SO TVs use a 4:3 aspect ratio and as such, produce images that have four inches of width for every three inches of height. Not only is a 16:9 Aspect Ratio 4:3 Aspect Ratio widescreen format more immersive, but it also results in additional content being displayed to the left and right of the frame.

All free-to-air digital TV broadcasts use a 16:9 ratio, except for older content that was filmed using a 4:3 aspect ratio. In these cases, instead of extra content to the left and right of the frame, you'll get black columns. This is known as pillarboxing.

4. The forthcoming HDTV revolution In Australia, all shows are broadcast in at least SO resolutions, while a select number of programs are shown in HD. Thankfully, HD is on its way up and we can expect a gradual increase in HD programming, however, broadcasters have yet to make a commitment to showing HU. A complete widescreen and high-definition program schedule An example of pillal'"boxing

can be found at the 'Widescreen TV' 'i'dEhsi f (::.

Current DVDs aren't capable of carrying high-definition content, but this is only until the formats enter the Australian market sometime this year. What's more, many current and most future games consoles (e.g. the ) also support HD signals, so our advice is to spend the extra money on an HD-ready set to ensure that you're completely future-proof.

5. Versatile content delivery The increased bandwidth that's resulted from the switch to digital has meant that broadcasters can send more than just audio and video down the pipe. Some available enhancements include electronic program guides, multicasting (multiple camera angles), datacasting (text and pictures) and even additional channels.

Datacasting and multicasting are yet to really take off in Australia (due mostly to legislative issues), but a list of all of the extra content currently available can be http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/print.htm?TYPE=story&AT=40059529-39035250t-30000056c 6/13/2006 Tips on buying a digital TV - TVs - CNETcom.au Page 4 of 11

Features that matter

Size considerations While it's tempting to buy the largest screen your bank account can afford, you should avoid purchasing a unit that's too large or too small for your room at all costs. Generally, 24" (60 cm) and smaller models are ideal for bedrooms, but too small for the main living room which is more deserving of something 32" (82cm) or larger,

The distance from the viewer to the screen should also be taken into account when purchasing a TV. Generally, for regular 4:3 televisions a comfortable viewing distance is between 3 and 6 times the width of the screen:

HD-Ready V5. HDTV A common mistake that digital TV buyers make is to assume that HO-Ready and HOTV are interchangeable terms. They're not. Put simply, HO-Ready only ensures that the display itself is capable of outputting high-definition signals. Yet that doesn't mean that it includes an integrated tuner capable of receiving such signals. In most cases HD-Ready TVs are only equipped with an analog tuner (if anything), and a good example of such a TV is the \!lc:>,u~"n',;!·

Bundling an analog tuner with an HO-Ready display virtually eliminates the advantages of upgrading in the first place, as you're still getting analog-quality TV signals. In fact, the quality may even be worse, as the TV is forced to upscale the analog signal to fit the native resolution of the display.

The bottom line is if you decide to purchase an HO-Ready display, make sure you couple it with a HOTV digital set-top box. Alternatively, you could also look for a fully integrated HOTV that has the appropriate tuner built in. One such offering is the

• Connectivity options

Fully integrated vs. stand alone Digital televisions are sold either as fully-integrated units that (in addition to the display itself) include a tuner, stand and speakers, or simply as a stand-alone display. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods.

Fully-integrated units are often more cost-effective than purchasing each component individually, are less messy on the cabling front and require little installation. On the other hand, with stand-alone products you're able to easily upgrade the tuner down the track (since it's a separate set-top box), and you can hand-pick the components.

We recommend going down the stand-alone path. Firstly, you're likely to grow tired of the integrated stereo speakers that are bundled with most TVs anyway. so it's worth shelling out for a dedicated sound system. Also, external high-definition receivers often boast more features and higher performance than their integrated cousins.

Connectivity options to consider Perhaps the single most confusing item on a TV spec sheet is the plethora of ports used to hook up the set to other equipment. The following list, arranged in order of video quality, should help put you on the path to mastering the connectivity jungle.

• Design issues store::

Important design issues If you plan on wall-mounting your new digital TV, the most important design facet to consider is the placement of the ports to the rear of the unit. If the ports aren't positioned in such a way that cables can be connected vertically from underneath the bezel, you'll run into difficulties should you plan on having the unit sitting flush against a wall.

For those who plan on regularly hooking up games consoles and DV cameras on an ad-hoc basis, look for a TV that's got some of its video ports conveniently located on the side or front of the panel.

Beware of glossy bezels, particularly if your TV is to be placed in a room with above-average levels of direct sunlight. Reflections off the shiny surface can become distracting, not to mention plain annoying.

It's not uncommon for manufacturers to spend significant amounts of money developing the design of the display itself, only to skimp on the remote design. Be sure to play with the remote in the store to ensure that it's comfortable to use, and all of the most used buttons are within easy reach using one hand. Another important remote-related feature is a backlight, which is virtually essential for darkened movie sessions.

Other important features 1. Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Found primarily on more-expensive televisions, PIP lets you watch a second program in a little window. More-elaborate versions can resize the window, move it around the screen, create still or multiple still images, or simply divide the screen into two same-size pictures -- often called picture-outside-picture (POP).

2. Electronic Program Guide (EPG) ..2J Some vendors are beginning to integrate an EPG into their TV sets. One recent example is LG with its 42" plasma. To our surprise, the EPG worked for all free-to-air channels, a feat that not even Foxtel can pUll off (Foxtel's EPG is missing channels Seven and TEN). Granted, most integrated guides only show the current and next program, but it's still a handy feature nonetheless. PIP in action

3. Universal Remote Many TV sets are bundled with a remote that, in addition to the TV itself, is capable of controlling other electronics in your lounge room (e.g. a digital video recorder, AN receiver or DVD player). This is a handy feature to look out for as it soon becomes frustrating having to reach around for three or four different remotes.

At the store

Judge the picture quality yourself in-store When deciding on which TV to purchase, don't settle with simply looking at the specifications sheet. This is because, while one panel may offer a higher resolution than another, there are many other important factors which determine image quality such as the quality of the internal converter, the brightness rating, the contrast ratio, and so on (see our for more information about what these specifications mean). Therefore, run any potential purchase through a slew of visual tests personally before laying down the cash.

The easiest way to judge the picture quality of a television in the store is to bring in your own DVD and ask the sales clerk to play it. This both ensures that you're viewing a digital signal, as well as that you're viewing the best picture that the TV can display. Try to select a DVD that offers a good mix of bright, colourful frames and darker scenes, enabling you to gauge the full range of the panel's abilities. The Matrix is a great film to use for this purpose.

Don't fall for the popular in-store brightness trick. The showroom of many electronics stores is often far brighter than your average living room. Compounding this, store clerks often increase the brightness of the panel itself to capture the attention http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/print.htm?TYPE=story&AT=40059529-39035250t-30000056c 6/13/2006 Tips on buying a digital TV - TVs - CNET.com.au Page 10 of 11

of buyers wandering through the store. Thus, make 2J sure that you're able to fiddle with the brightness controls before jumping to conclusions. It's also a good idea to cycle through all available preset picture modes to determine which one looks the best.

An issue that many plasma and LCD TVs have lies The Matrix: An ideal test DVD in their ability to crisply displaying dark scenes. Specifically, in such dimly lit scenes it's not uncommon for a panel to have difficulty showing a sufficient level of detail in objects. Another potential issue lies in discerning differences between shades at the lower end of the colour spectrum, particularly noticeable in greys. Grey objects can also appear to have a bluish tinge, so watch out for this.

If you're considering purchasing an LCD TV, it's imperative that you check for ghosting issues. Due to the nature of LCD technology, individual pixels don't change colour immediately. The delay associated with this is known as the pixel-response rate, and the longer the delay, the higher the chance that you'll experience ghosting or streaking issues when changing images in quick succession (such as in a frenetic movie chase or fight scene). The store·showroom doesn't So skip to any of the action sequences in the DVD always present optimal conditions you've chosen to test with and watch out for for judging image quality ghosting.

Another important check to make when purchasing a flat panel is that there are no dead pixels (ones that are always off) or stuck pixels (ones that are always on). Dead pixels can be weeded out the easiest when the panel is displaying a completely white image, while stuck pixels can be caught out on an all-black image (look for glowing red, green or blue spots).

Furthermore, one factor that we've continually noticed in our testing of digital TVs is the immense variation in the ability of panels when it comes to producing accurate skin tones. Look to see if skin tones are natural and true-to-life, being sure to avoid panels that give skin colours an orange tint.

Finally, general colour reproduction should be bright and vibrant, without appearing cartoon-ish or washed out. Look for deep reds and smooth greens and blues. Also, whites should be white, not a light shade of grey.

It's easier to see flaws in a panel when comparing it directly to a competitor than when it's viewed on its own, so try to do a quick image quality comparison if you're deciding between two similarly priced panels.

Warranty considerations Generally, you'll want the retailer to provide at least a one month guaranteed replacement policy for defective units (such as an LCD TV with dead or stuck

http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/print.htm?TYPE=story&AT=40059529-39035250t-30000056c 6/13/2006 Tips on buying a digital TV - TVs - CNET.com.au Page 11 of 11

pixels). In addition, try to obtain a three-year warranty that includes both parts and labour. In-home service warranties are generally better than back-to-base warranties.

Another critical factor to consider is how the retailer receives its stock. Many smaller online resellers drop ship their products directly from the distributor, and thus have little control over the returns and replacement policy. This could cause headaches should you receive a defective unit. So try to purchase your new TV from a vendor that purchases direct from the manufacturer and actually stocks inventory in its own warehouse.

Guide What Is DTV and HDTV? Featured Products

By David EIrich

Digital TV (DTV) and its high-definition offspring, HDTV, are here. Hardware prices, while still high by some standards, have tumbled to a fraction of what they were when only a few folks owned TV sets capable ofdisplaying DTV signals. And, slowly but surely, HDTV programming--the primary incentive to invest in DTV, apart from DVD playback--is picking up. Below we've outlined these burgeoning technologies.

Five quick shopping tips 1. Questions to ask yourself. Do I live in an area where local broadcasters have embraced digital TV? Check with the National Association of Broadcasters to find out. If so, you can use a rooftop antenna to receive digital programming. If not, Dl RFCTV's DTV system delivers HDTV signals via satellite, but you'll need a special dish and receiver (a System) to make it happen. Ifcable is your TV lifeline, you may have a problem, since very few cable companies transmit high-quality digital signals, though many offer DTV. Check with your cable operator for a definitive answer to this question.

2. Screen shape and size affect price. Just as in the analog world, the bigger your screen size, the more you'll pay. If you want a wide screen set rather than a traditional square screen, expect to pay even more.

3. There are different degrees of digital. There are class distinctions among digital televisions, with the best being HDTVs, then EDTVs (Enhanced Definition), and then SDTVs (Standard Definition). Eyes-on test drives are often key, since a 480P (480 lines. progressively scanned) EDTV image might, in fact, be good enough for you until you see nop and 10801 HDTV video. The better the picture, the more you'll pay.

4. Some things remain the same. These are televisions, albeit digital ones, so look for an ergonomically designed remote control, preferably with lighted keys. If you're shopping for a rear-projection model (40 inches and larger), look for a built-in protective screen to prevent fingerprints or scratches from kids and pets. Extensive input and output jacks are important, as you may add a progressive-scan DVD player to your system along with a digital decoder (some sets include the decoder, many don't, letting you buy the set first and the decoder later).

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/172092/103-3271858-0075833 6/13/2006 Amazon.com : Amazon.com Buying Guide Page 2 01'3

5. Friends never looked better. Many digital televisions have circuits called line doublers that take standard analog signals and "upconvert" them to digital. This adds a wonderful dimension to shows, even if your local broadcasters haven't embraced the digital revolution.

Overview One look at a new high-definition television, and you'll immediately see a quantum leap in picture quality from today's sets, whether you're used to broadcast, cable, or even DVD picture quality. The image seen on the best models has up to 10 times the detail of a standard set. Watching a big football game makes you feel like you're 10 rows up on the 50-yard line as you see every bit ofthe field, even the sweat on the quarterback's face. Not only is the picture more lifelike--like looking through a squeaky clean picture window--the best digital TVs have wider, rectangular screens like movie theaters. And most deliver the same Dolby Digital surround sound that rocks audicnces at the local cineplex. Digital television is doing for TV what CD players did for music. Simply put, it will revolutionize TV viewing, just as the compact disc did for music listening.

Where CDs eliminated scratches and hisses from old records, digital TVs eliminate ghosts. static. snow, and poor-quality video. When you see a digital TV program, it will be exactly the same as the one that left the TV station (so long as there aren't major obstacles in the way): colors are crisp, text is easier to read, and the higher quality audio embedded into the signal heightens the viewing experience. Your old antenna works just fine for pulling in local HDTV signals. And this is just the beginning, as the digital TV system has the potential to turn the passive TV into an interactive dynamo by delivering a variety ofdata such as news and stock market reports directly to your screen.

Another driver in the DTV trend is the Federal Communications Commission, which has mandated that all commercial stations must construct digital broadcast facilities by May 2002. So where does that leave us now?

What you can watch Many cable services already offer digital cable, which is indeed DTV. But being digital does not automatically mean "good," despite the many companies touting MP3 players' "digital quality music." (Notice they aren't saying "CD-quality music.") Let's face it: in going for digital TV, we're really interested in high-definition television, so we'll focus our discussion on avai lable HDTV programming.

The Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, NBA playoff games, and the NHL All-Star Gamc arc just a few of the top sports events aired in HDTV. In fact, over 1,500 hours ofHDTV shows are broadcast every year by ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and Fox.

Your new digital TV is also a great display for the new, progressive-sc(in DVD r1(lycrs hitting the streets. Connect one to your DTV-ready set, and you'll see a beautiful. seamless image with no trace of flicker. And any DVD works with a progressive-scan output player. With thousands oftitles available, there's no shortage of digital programming if you go this route.

DTV shapes and formats

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-1172092/l 03-3271858-0075833 6/13/2006 Amazon.com : Amazon.com Buying Guide Page 3 of 3

.Just as there is a wide variety of DTV formats, there are different flavors ofdigital television. The most affordable is capable of showing the lowest form ofdigital image. called Standard Definition TV. They have the familiar square-shaped picture, referred to as a 4:3 aspect ratio.

The next category is Enhanced Definition TVs, capable ofdisplaying a higher-quality 1080 Interlace as well as 480 progressive images on a square screen. An EDTV has a digital tuner built-in, while an EDTV monitor requires a digital set-top box. EDTV tuners are also available.

Available in direct view and rear-projection editions (40 inches and up) are widescreen l-IDTV sets (nOp, 10801) with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This type of television lets you see uncropped widescreen movies without the black bars on top and bottom used for "Ietterbox" presentations. (Letterboxing is the method typically used to fit rectangular CinemaScope movies onto a square screens.) HDTVs come with a built-in tuner and are also sold as HDTV monitors, which require an HDTV tuner.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules that will help smooth the transition to digital television (DTV) for millions of Americans. The FCC's new "plug-and-play" rules will ensure that most cable systems are compatible with DTV receivers and related consumer electronics equipment. This is crucial toward building products and developing services to help spur the digital transition.

Background

Congress has determined that current broadcast television service must eventually convert completely to digital operation. Cable television and other video media are also transitioning to digital operation. Because DTV is delivered digitally, it allows for the delivery of a signal virtually free of interference. DTV broadcasters will be able to offer television with movie-quality pictures and Dolby digital surround sound, along with a variety of other enhancements. DTV technology is more efficient than analog technology and will allow the same number of stations to broadcast using less spectrum.

The FCC's plug-and-play rules are important to the digital transition because they will facilitate the direct connection of digital navigation devices or customer premises equipment, such as television receivers, set-top boxes, and digital recorders that are purchased from retail outlets to cable television systems.

Plug-and-Play Digital Television

A "plug-and-play" digital television is a television that you can plug directly into your cable system and receive analog and most digital cable services without the need for a set-top box. More and more cable services are being provided in digital format, and broadcast stations are in the midst of the transition from analog to an all-digital service. Currently, plug-and-play is available for most analog services over cable, but not for digital.

Benefits of Plug-and-Play

• Many consumers like the convenience (and cost savings) of receiving cable programming without the need of a set-top box. If nothing else, it's one less remote control to keep track of!

• You will be able to take your plug-and-play set virtually anywhere in the country and know it will work on cable systems offering digital services.

FQC Federal Communications Commission • Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau 445 12th St., SW • Washington. DC 20554 C'<'L>')0 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) • TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322) Fax 1-866-418-0232 • wwwfccgov/cgb - 2-

• Plug-and-play will allow you to fully utilize the features and functions provided by the television set that often are disabled when connected to a cable set-top box.

Will Digital Plug-and-Play Work Like Analog?

Digital plug-and-play will not work quite like analog. For digital plug-and-play, you'll probably need to get a security card (also known as a "CableCARD™n) from your local cable operator. The security card will permit you to watch scrambled programming and premium services, to which you're subscribed.

Willi Need A Set-Top Box If I Have a Plug-and-Play Set?

The first generation of plug-and-play sets will be able to receive one-way programming only, including analog basic, digital basic, and digital premium cable programming. If you want to receive certain advanced digital cable services like video-an-demand, the cable operator enhanced program guide, or interactive data-enhanced television service, using a first generation set, you will need to use a set-top box. You may also need a set-top box to receive other cable operator-provided services, such as a personal video recorder.

Negotiations are underway between the cable and consumer electronics industries to establish standards that would permit plug-and-play sets to provide advanced two-way services as well.

Availability of Plug-and-Play Sets

Plug-and-play sets built pursuant to the new standards may be available as early as the second half of 2004. To know if you are buying a plug-and-play set, ask your retailer if the set is "digital cable ready." Manufacturers that use that label must meet certain technical standards and complete a testing and verification process.

Watching High-Definition Programming On a Plug-and-Play Set

Plug-and-play will permit you to watch digital programming, but not all sets will display full high-definition quality. To be sure, check with your retailer on whether the set displays full high-definition quality or a lower resolution. You can also ask your local cable provider if they offer HDTV programming.

Incorporated in 1819, the city was named for General Richard Montgomery, who died in the American Revolutionary War attempting to capture Quebec, Canada. Montgomery was the fifth capital ofAlabama. The territorial capital, St. Stephens on the Tombigbee River, had been supplanted by Huntsville then Cahawba and Tuscaloosa [1] Coordinates 32°21'42"N, 86°16'45"W I(http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?i I params=32_21_42_N_86_16_45_W_{{{9}}}) Government !Country United States : State Alabama I County Montgomery iIncorporated December 3, 1819 IMayor Bobby Bright Geographical characteristics

It was the first capital of the Confederate States of America, whose president, Jefferson Davis, was inaugurated on its steps. It is located on the north portion ofthe Alabama River.

Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. gained national attention for civil rights issues during his tenure, 1954 to 1960, as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, two blocks from the State Capitol Building. A civil rights memorial has been erected near the still-active church. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks became a civil rights heroine in the city by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. The reaction to this arrest led to the 382-day Montgomery Bus Boycott which forced the city to desegregate its transit system on December 21, 1956. In 1965, Dr. King's nationally-publicized march for justice was conducted from Selma to Montgomery.

Country music pioneer and legend Hank Williams lived part ofhis life, and is buried in Montgomery. Country star Alan Jackson eulogizes Williams in a popular song, called Midnight In Montgomery, about a trip to Hank's gravesite.

M'EDIA TRENDS TRACK

TV Basics: Introduction -

The television industry is changing rapidly. Television has come a long way since the 3-channel days of the 1950s - and the complexity of the industry continues to increase. Now, an informed observer of television must understand the impact of personal Video recorders (PVRs) like TiVo, alternate delivery systems (ADS), and cable vs. broadcast cumes.

So in addition to the valuable charts and tables of statistics that you've come to expect over the years in TV Basics, we've added data on new topics that have become top of mind for many media professionals.

In this latest edition of TV Basics, you will find information on the growth of DVDs, PVRs, and personal computers. We've added listings for all 210 DMAs that show the penetration of alternate delivery systems in each market, as well as whether local stations are available via satellite. We've expanded our section on top-rated shows, and added a section about targeting in a variety of different ways.

But of course statistics keep coming, and we don't want you to have to wait another year for the latest data. So we keep this cyber-edition of TV Basics constantly updated. I suggest you bookmark www.tvb.org for qUick access to the most current data available. Don't see what you're looking for? Call us or e-mail [email protected] are, we can help!

I hope you enjoy this cyber-edition of TV Basics.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004

NOTE 1 - SUlvlMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Nature of the business - The Woods Communications Corporation was formed on June 26, 1985. The Corporation owns and operates the television station WCOV, the Fox network affiliate in Montgomery, Alabama.

Cash and cash equivalents - The Corporation maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Corporation has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Corporation believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

The Corporation considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Investment in marketable equity securities - The Corporation has a diverse portfolio ofinvestments in marketable equity securities. Management determines the appropriate classification ofthe securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriareness ofsuch classifications at each balance sheet date. Management classifies its investments as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a separate component of shareholder's equity. Tbe basis in which cost is determined for computing realized gains or losses is specific identification for stocks and average cost for mutual funds.

Accounts receivable - The Corporation broadcasts television programming in the Montgomery, Alabama viewing area and proVides advertising opportunities to various local, regional, and national entities located throughout the United States_ Accounts receivable are recorded net of agency commissions.

Allowance for doubtful accounts - The Corporation, which normally grants credit without collateral to customers, carries its trade receivables at the original invoice amount. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided which management believes will be adequate to absorb any credit losses that may result from existing accounts receivable. Management: reviews the aging report on a monthly basis and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received_ Interest is not usually assessed on past due accounts.

Film contract rights - The Corporation has agreements with certain film distributors from whom films are leased for transmission on television over various contract periods (generally two to five years). In accounting for the contracts, the Corporation records the total liability under the agreements when the film is available for airing and amortizes the cost of such rights based on usage (straight-line method) over the estimated number ofshowings of the film. The portion of the unamortized costs to be amortized within One year and after one year are reflected in the balance sheet as current and noncurrent assets, respectively, and the payments under these contracts due within one year and after one year are similarly classified as current and noncurrent liabilities.

Declaration ofDavid Woods

David Woods, President ofWoods Communications Corporation. hereby states under penalty of perjury the following:

At the present time, Woods Communications Corporation is broadcasting on NTSC Channel 20 and is broadcasting on its current DTV Channel 16 pursuant to Special Temporary Authority ,'STA"). The cost to maximize its DTV operation and continue operating its NTSC Channel 20 is prOhibitive. In this regard, it cannot use the current Channel 20 tower for its Channel 1() maximization facUity. The estimated cost for the tower, equipment and installation would require a total expenditure in excess ofFour Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,200,OOO)

wcov is in a competitive broadcasting market and is competing for a limited amount of advertising dollars. it is located in the 116th DMA. Woods Communications Corporation is currently a healthy company but to undertake this type ofexpenditure at the present time would not be prudent. Moreover, due to its current financial commitments, it would not be feasible to borrow the necessary money needed to undertake this project. it is far more economically sensible to wait until 2009 to max.imize its DTV faCility.

Declaration ofMarc Stover

Marc Stover hereby states under penalty ofpetjury the following;

I am the General Sales Manager for WCOV-TV, Montgomery, Alabama. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, Woods Communications Corporation lost revenues during the third quarter 2005 and subsequently. In this regard, it lost revenues from Casino Advertising; specifically, Pearl River Resort is not scheduled to return to operation until September 2006 and Casino Magic will not be back in operation until August 2006. In addition, expected advertising revenues from the Tunica Convention Visitors Bureau did not materialize.

Due to the need for new trucks and automobiles in Mississippi and Louisiana, local auto dealers sent their inventory to these areas and did not have any incentive to advertise. Consequently, the market lost these advertising revenues. Similarly. home improvement stores such as Home Depot, Lowes and Wal~Mart diverted product to those areas that were devastated by Hurricane Katrina and did not spend as much on advertising in the Montgomery market.
