SDV (Switched Digital Video) May Hinder My Super Bowl Experience

Super BowlLike most Americans, I plan on watching the Super Bowl later on today. The only problem is that my cable company (Time Warner) uses Switched Digital (SDV) to broadcast Fox in high definition. Obviously, this presents a problem since my Series 3 TiVo is unable to tune SDV content. This will all change once TiVo comes out with a SDV dongle but for now, I’m stuck having to use my over the air (OTA) antenna to watch Fox in high definition. The only problem with this approach is that sometimes Fox doesn’t come in clearly if the weather is bad outside. Hopefully I won’t have any problems tonight and I will be able to watch the Super Bowl in HD.

Wish me luck :)….

Picture Of The Day: High Tech Antenna

Apparently, this individual lives so close to a TV station’s tower that they are able to use a paper clip as an antenna.  Nice :).
