"...reports of significant technical difficulties with the pass through and display of closed captioning [in DTV] are becoming rampant" - The Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology, in an August 2007 FCC filing.
On February 18, 2009, all analog television broadcasting in the United States ceases, and is replaced by digital television (DTV). Many problems accompany this DTV conversion in the United States -- bad planning, little public knowledge, insufficient funds, and poor government and industry response to the public interest.
This website, DTVredalert.org, is a project of Chicago Media Action, and is intended to help provide a public-oriented perspective to the DTV conversion and its aftermath.
