The MW bands here are quite crowded...the furthest I can get is Toronto usually, which is about 400 miles from NYC.

Has anybody had Club Orange? It's the best soft drink ever. Too bad they don't sell it here in New York...it's $8 to import 6 cans, which is ridiculous.

Chemically refined, I shouldn't wonder.

Nah, it's a home made thing.

Is there a distinction between lemonade and "cloudy lemonade"? Here lemonade is just lemon juice, sugar, and water. Sorry for all the questions, it's just curious to learn about the differences between the US and the UK.

What exactly is squash? Is it like, a syrup of some sort that you dilute?

American drinks are dreadful. Nothing is natural. The difference between American Fanta and Fanta everywhere else is astounding. American Fanta: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate, modified food starch, natural and artificial flavors, sucrose acetate isobutyrate...

The former administration planned this quite poorly, not providing enough funding for subsidies for digital set top boxes, in addition to only airing television spots regarding the switch in 2008. It should have started in 2006. There are 6.5 million households without access to digital television.....

Here in New York, it's pretty terrible...even the quality of the shows are not up to par.

Ah, that makes sense. I really dislike the American system, it's just too free-market. DVB-T looks so much better. I'd rather have 80 16:9 channels, plus radio, then 11 HD channels, with no teletext or interactivity.

I have a question-why is the DSO so slow? Here in America, it's only a month away, and digital broadcasts have only been on air for about 6 years or so. ATSC is a crap system, of course, but I can't imagine why it would take so long to switch over. Can't they just do it in one go?
