The article says that any computer repair must have a PI license, unless

So, those of you who think this is reasonable: would requiring a law

I think that this will be quite a surprise for all the people that went
out and spent $ on UHF installations, only to find that they will have
to spend more $ on VHF/UHF installations. It won't make the broadcasters
look good.

thought that all VHF TV was being killed so that those frequencies could be
used for mobile/emergency services, with TV gone from that part of the spectrum
altogether. By legislation (or perhaps by simple FCC rulemaking).
Aside from being totally freaking NUTS, the PI license requirement does,
as you say, sound like a power grab--in this case by big firms that
contract out computer service, PIs, and those who run the licensing and
education firms. The trend of requiring a license or a certificate of

I installed AVG Free 8.0 new on a rebuilt machine, and it took three
tries for the update to work. It finally did but it took a while.

I just checked again and it finally went through OK. It's been down

It provides the same updates as X.5.4. I'm not seeing any serious
complaints, but it is a bit too soon to tell.

This is precisely why my antenna installer said he is not installing
UHF-only antennas. He said If I did you would be mad at me when the
stations refuse to move.

I think it's rather that your computer phones home automatically and finds
out if there is anything new. If so, it downloads and installs it
automatically.

Does this mean that my emergency, battery-operated analog TV set will in fact
continue to work on the VHF channels? When we're having a hurricane and the
power is off, its good to see the weather maps, etc. that can be seen on the

Not after sometime in February 2009, unless you are speaking of

That is what we all thought, wasn't it? It is not the case.
Looks like we were not reading the fine print. While they will all go
digital in February, it appears that at least some of them will remain on
VHF. Antenna Web reports that in DC channels 4, 5, 7, and 9 will continue
on VHF.
Probably. But even _thinking_ about the DMCA (or ways to get around
it) are forbidden on this list.
