" That's actually great question it is that what you're -- good question because he's not going to have everything done right. The basically is is is the powers that be the FCC they won the analogue and went bat that's currently being used for -- television television we've been watching. For Brazilian yours so what they are doing is is basically shutting down analog television broadcast so your local broadcasters switching to digital broadcast -- most likely access now.

The flip side is analog you always keep in its -- so it's Carrollton and an analog you always get good quality like the best quality. Or leave it means that there's a certain there's a quality level easily with analog that sometimes you don't do it because when somebody goes from you know. 25 or 36 channels of analog television to a 125 channels digital some of those channels. A lot of the ones that are targeted for kids or geeks or. History buffs tend to get compressed a little bit more than others -- and accessories and a whole restaurant HBO gets a lot of bandwidth you know the fishing channel maybe not so much unless the guy that runs the local cable shop is a big -- in the fishing channel."
