Wow. How cool. Must have been daylight almost through the night, this
time of year. Never been to Finland, myself.

That seems to be a universal reaction to digital TV, which has never
ceased to astound me. Because I was NEVER satisfied with analog TV.
Never from the first time I saw it and was conscious of what I was
watching and able to compare it to movies.

One aside: Isn't it about time that Hollywood understand how digital
radio and digital TV signals are SUPPOSED to degrade? When they show bad
RF conditions in movies and TV shows, they still have hissy audio and
analog video with poor sync. Hey guys. Whether it's signals from space
or from local TV, that ain't how they degrade no more.
