Why I Use Rechargeable Batteries
There was significant discussion on the CTDRT e-mail list the other day about the use of batteries for wireless mics. Many people suggested different places to get great deals and which ones they use. I suggested using rechargeables instead. That met with some resistance, much of it centered around a bad experience. I’ll say a [...]
WFX, Here We Come!
This morning, my associate TD, Gary, and I (though I often refer to him as the Assistant to the Technical Director–just for fun) will be heading east to Charlotte, NC to attend WFX. I was able to go last year, and had a great time. It was fun being able to hang out with Colin [...]
Something New from the FCC: An Answer
We’ve been waiting for it for months; most of us with baited breath. What is the deal with the 700 Mhz band? Specifically, when do we have to be out? We’ve known it was coming, but we haven’t known when. Well, now we do. June 12, 2009. The “final” day for the DTV transition. The [...]
Congress Tells TV Stations, “Stop!”
In a policy turnaround so crazy it’s sure to give someone whiplash, Congress has now passed a ruling barring TV stations from turning off their analog transmitters on Tuesday (Feb. 17, 2009). These would be the very same TV stations who were told to spend $10-20 million retooling their plants to be ready for the [...]
DTV Transition Delayed (Again)
Honestly, I’m getting tired of blogging about this. So tired, in fact, that I ignored it for a week hoping it would change and I wouldn’t have to. So far, that’s not happened. Here’s a quick update. The House & Senate have both passed a bill, which the President has signed that will now delay [...]
Video Conference on Wireless Mics and DTV
Jason Cole, Dave Stagl and I will be hosting a TokBox video conference on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 9 PM CST to talk about wireless mics, DTV and the 700 Mhz relocation. We’ll be updating everyone on the current state of affairs as it relates to next Tuesday’s original date of the DTV transition, the [...]
Digital TV Transition Date in Transition?
Looks like our new government is hard at work already. A scant few days into the new administration’s reign and they’re already rocking the boat. The Senate passed a bill today that would delay the analog to digital TV transition for another 4 months. This is rather comical because the first deadline for the change was sometime [...]
Easing the Pain of the 700 MHz Relocation
In case you’re not currently aware, if you are using wireless microphones or IEMs that are operating in the 700 MHz range (698-806 MHz), you’re going to have to power them offer permanently sometime after Feb. 17, 2009. How soon is still up in the air, but they’re going to have to go away. For [...]
Keeping up with the FCC
This is coming a few weeks after the fact, and some of you may already be aware of this but it’s important to note that on November 18, 2008, the FCC finally released it’s official ruling on what had been called White Space Devices (WSDs). They are now called TVBDs (TV Band Devices). While there’s [...]
