Comcast's David Green on Cambridge DTV Transition
During a not very crowded hearing yesterday at Cambridge City Hall, Councilor Henrietta Davis, Chair of the Cable TV, Telecommunications and Public Utilities Committee convened a meeting to find out how prepared Cambridge is for the Digital Television Transition set for February 17, 2009.
If you're not familiar with what's going on, the Federal Communications Commission provides the following on its DTV website:
"On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional "
The video above features a ten minute presentation, entitled "Broadcast Digital Television Transition. Feb 17, 2009 is coming. Are you ready?" by David Green, Manager of Government Relations for Comcast. The video was shot on one of our Flip Mino video cameras, available to CCTV members for check-out.
Following the presentation, several questions came up about how the DTV transition will impact people who already subscribe to Comcast, but do NOT have a Comcast digital cable box.
Those who don't have a cable box, may find that - over time - many of their channels will migrate to Comcast's digital channel line-up. As a result, Cambridge residents will find that they will have to buy a Comcast cable box to keep their favorite channels such as MSNBC and the Food Network. Most important to note, there is an additonal fee to purchase the digital cable box.CCTV Executive Director, Susan Fleischmann asked whether or not the Public, Educational and Government access channels would be impacted by the transition. Mr. Green responded that our channels would stay where they are in the channel line-up.
There was a lot of confusion in the room between the DTV Convertor Box and Comcast's Digital Cable box - who needs which one and why?
In addition, Councilor Davis and others in the room were concerned about how the senior population will manage this transition. Who will they call if they have a problem setting up or installing their cable boxes? There was no answer for that question - only that during the DTV trial run in Wilmington, NC recently, the Fire Department apparently came to people's homes to help with the convertor box installations, stated Councilor Davis.
In addition, Comcast only provides DTV transition information in English and Spanish. What about Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Amharic, and other non-English speakers who will need information about the DTV transition?
These are just a few of the outstanding questions that remain.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the DTV transition for Comcast subscribers on their website at http://www.comcast.com/dtv/ -

The Dames
The Dames is a short documentary that profiles the Boston Derby Dames, Boston's first and only women's flat track roller derby league. This documentary introduces viewers to a fast-paced, full-contact sport, where they can watch players like Claire D. Way and Shelby Shattered hip check, booty block and skillfully skate their teams to victory. While the sport attracts fans through its aggression and sex appeal, it also promotes women's empowerment in its most literal form: through physical strength and ownership. The documentary chronicles the birth of the league in interviews with two of its founders, Ivana Clobber and Sarah Doom, as well as the league's growth over the past two years. The film also gets up close and personal with some of the league's stars, like Harlot Fevah, Triple Deck-Her and Maura Buse. Viewers will experience the dedication and passion which drives these funky, outspoken, edgy women to play derby, even with the long hours of practice, serious injuries, and hurdles of trying to balance their day-to-day lives while running a do-it-yourself business.
The filmmakers are Sarah Brett, Ann Cowan, Darcie DeAngelo, Quentin James, Amy Steptoe, and Rebecca Yadegar. The production was facilitated by Shaun Clarke, Amy Mertl, and Jason Ong.

SMI 2007 - Nobody Knows Us
'Nobody Knows Us' deals with how the media portrays the homeless population in America and how that affects how many Americans see the homeless. The film attempts to shed light on some of the stereotypes of the homeless in the media, using clips from popular films from the 1930's to the present, television news and and archival newsreels from the depression. Using interviews with homeless advocates, formerly homeless people and others, it attempts to establish both why these stereotypes flourish, and means that can be undertaken to change them. This project is currently a work in progress, and a longer version and more information may be up soon ..

Frank Pasquerello: The British Bulldog Episode
Officer Frank Pasquerello, host of Crime Time on Cambridge Community Television's popular BeLive! live television format, appeared on Jan 5 with an English bulldog as a co-host. It seems some dispute over the apparent cuteness/ugliness factor prompted Pasquerello to invite the dog on to the live program so that the viewing audience could decide for themselves. Frank Pasquerello serves as the Public Information Officer for the Cambridge Police Department and has been the host of Crime Time for more than five years. His program facilitates dialog between the residents of Cambridge and the Police Department and addresses a wide range of public and civic issues across our city. Crime Time can be seen in Cambridge every Thursday night at 6:30 PM on Channel 9.
