Fox Cities TV (formerly Fox Cities HD) is an independent blog and reader-driven community for television lovers in the Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh, Wisconsin area. We aim to be a place where TV watchers in Northeast Wisconsin can come to learn about what's happening in local (and national) television, interact with other TV viewers and express themselves about TV issues.
The website was created and is managed by Mark David Zahn, an avid Internet, entertainment and electronic enthusiast. He currently resides in Appleton, WI, where he makes his living in radio and dabbles in computer building, web community building, independent media, high-definition TV and home theater. Mark can be contacted directly here.

It is not so much that Uncle
It is not so much that Uncle Sam isn't helping people get the coupons for converters, they are doing pretty well to see that through. The problem is that many people living in remote areas will be without television because they are too far from a digital transmitter. The soon-to-be obsolete analog systems may have poor reception in remote areas... but with digital it is either ALL or NOTHING and for most remote areas that will simply translate to NO MORE television even if they have the converters. Eventually for the digital system to work well, there are going to have to be station translator signals every 50 miles or less in order to make sure EVERYONE has television that wants to have it. And since the Feds decided that we convert to digital... they (we) are going to have to foot the bill to make it work!!!
