I hadn't noticed that but it does seem to be the case. I ran a side by side with the vs and then just google alone...almost 1/3 of the google alone search results is blank. So maybe he gave bing more cause it's a busier page. Dunno. On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 9:08 PM, John Duncan Yoyo wrote: > On

Speaking personally, it does not matter to me if TV broadcasting is ended. With the switch from analog to digital, I am able to receive only two local digital broadcasts despite having a very large VHF-UHF antenna mounted 10 feet above the roof of my 2-story house. I dwell in Vienna, VA, whic
