[nfb-talk] Losing DVS

[Ray Foret jr]

I think that depends on the station.  Our local PBS station does in fact 
include the SAP signal on their digital side; but not the analog.  That's a 
station issue not an NFB issue.  For that kind of thing, you'll need to 
speak to the station manager.  The engineers can only do what the managers 
tell them; so, I'd approach management with this one.

Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray

so they two of you are saying that WI Public Television is in fact
including the DVS signal in their digital feed?
