Happy Tower Day

Well, after years and years of legal squabbling and other setbacks, the Lookout Mountain Digital TV Supertower finally went online today! Now we can get all our local digital HD channels from LM and I no longer have to rotate my antenna between LM and downtown depending on what channel I want. High-powered Over-The-Air digital television has finally, after all this time, come to the Denver Metro area.
In theory, at least. For some reason, I can’t get channel 7/KMGH, though I am receiving the other channels. I don’t know what’s going on, since people on the AVS Forums are reporting that they’re getting it today, or at least that it’s not that different in strength from the other channels. I can’t get it pointing to the old location downtown either, though I used to be able to. Maybe they’re still messing around with things. I hope it’s not one of those things where I’m right on the cusp of reception, though I don’t seem to be getting any signal at all for channel 7, even an unlockable one. And why would I be able to get some but not others if they were all coming from the same source? Oh well, guess I’ll keep trying and see what happens.
In the meantime, I’ll drink some champagne today, or at least beer, and make a victory toast for the forces of logic and science (and commerce) over those of fear and NIMBYism. Huzzah!
Latre.

First your hard drive dies – now channel 7 – this can’t be coincidence, I smell a rat…

I might have to go get some rabbit ears. I’ve spent four months trying to get an HD set-top box.
