The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the FCC and Congress may be looking to a loophole to delay the mandate for broadcasters to switch from analog to digital broadcasts. Right now, TV broadcasters are mandated to have their signals converted to digital (HDTV in most cases) by the end of 2006. In most major cities in the United States, the main networks already have HDTV versions of their programming being sent over the air (terrestrial DTV). At the same time, satellite providers like DirecTV announced plans to launch a number of new satellites that will be primarily dedicated to local HDTV programming.

The answer: it creates a stunning, holographic sonic image. (Read the review in the October issue of Audio Video Revolution at http://www.avrev.com/equip/sunfiretheatergrandiv/index.html ). Naturally, it must have the latest video switching - and it does. Naturally, it must have a stellar on-screen menu - and it does. But the Theater Grand IV's primary reason for being is to translate sound tracks into stunning works of art. It may be true that the higher the quality of the audio presentation, the deeper the intensity of the emotional experience. At Sunfire, Bob Carver has been getting more out of an audio signal path than almost anyone else for years. The classy Sunfire TGIV is proof of his dedication.

This factor makes tribute albums, such as this one, quite tricky. So even if you can�t guess that a song was recorded by U2 after hearing The Edge�s distinctively searing guitar lines, you�ll most certainly have it figured out by the time Bono�s vocals enter the mix. And since The Edge and Bono create this unique recorded presence, nearly every artist covering a U2 song on Artists United For Africa: In the Name of Love starts out trapped behind the eight ball of U2�s large artistic shadow.
