You hold a masters degree? Does that piece of paper make you any smarter than someone that does not have one? To Me it just says you went through the program.

You dont have to get a converter box if you do not want to. The government mandate does not direct citizens to buy anything, or watch tv for that matter, the mandate, if you research, is directed at the broadcasters, not the viewing public.
Show me where it says "ye must buy this box or HDTV or you will be an outcast" or some other direct order by government that mandates people to buy a converter box.
Cheers!!!!

What you are referring to as the EM is the localized IF frequencies within the box. These signals are barely reaching .01uV signal strength and cant barely even get past the box itself without using gain on a spectrum analyzer with a direct coupler touching a component in the box to begin with.
What EMF Level Is Safe?
There's a heated debate as to what electromagnetic field (EMF) level is considered safe. Since the experts have not come to an consensus, you'll have to decide for yourself... Many government and utility documents report the usual ambient level of 60-Hz magnetic field to be 0.5 mG.
Thus, any reading higher than 0.5 mG is above the "usual" ambient exposure. Many experts and public officials, as well as the few governments that have made an effort to offer public protection, have adopted the 3 mG cutoff point. The EPA has proposed a safety standard of 1 mG. Sweden has set a maximum safety limit of 1 mG.
Dr. Robert Becker, an MD who has been studying the effects of EMFs for 20 years, states a lmG safety limit in his book Cross Currents. When electricians try to solve a magnetic field problem they do their best to drop the level to 1 mG or below.
Again, being heavily involved with the broadcast industry for the last 25 years and now, both radio and television and cable and satellite, and working for Sony engineering 12 out of those 25 designing stuff, the practicality of such covert circuitry in the boxes would put them way byond the price of practicality, even if such circutry is incorporated into the chips, it would still make the device expensive to manufacture.

Now your starting to say things I have been trying to express. I did not mean the boxes themselves would do the mind control but the ability of the program being broadcast will do it. But you must agree that the sheeple are much too curious not to listen to a broadcast from the president if they think there will be something real important he or she is going to be telling the citizenry especialy if there is some kind of catastrophe or other event.

Yes, we are being bombarded from many directions with propaganda.
Geez I hope that bomb word doesn't get picked up by you guys monitoring my every keystroke.
Since you work in the field of EE I would like to ask a question. Once these boxes are in place, can an outside source blackout all but one channel and put a notice on the screen of all those blacked out ones to tune to, let's say, channel 1? Cable and satellite included.

uV is a microvolt
Your figures up there are even less.

if tv stations need big dollar equipment and towers to send a signal to the far reaches of your average city, then your tv / set top box is going to need equal power to get it back there.
if it was possible from a simple box they wouldnt need mega dollar transmitters would they.

But why is the government so anxious to help American citizens
They aren't. The government needs the analog not the high def. It frees up the analog system allowing it to be soley used for military and police/emergency needs.

Now its in the HDTV converter boxes too?
Well just so you know, Im hold a masters in EE and there is NO mind controlling devices in HDTV's or converter boxes or anything else for that matter. The move to digital TV is because its better, provides more capability for programs and much cleaner video, plus surround sound and interactive menus and gives the viewer a true wide screen experience without the letterboxing.
Its simple advancement of technology nothing different to going from the horse and buggy to internal combustion engines.

then if it was possible you got millions of people in a localised area with millions of set top boxs sending out signals that would become a massive jumble of jargon.
every box would need unique, never repeated identifiers or frequencies and for what?
so the govt can hear you beat your wife, or bitch about work, or get sauced with your mates, or cry in your bed coz your lonely?
think of whats required for what your claiming.
mind control from your tv? no. although it would be nice to have a remote control for teh wife at times.
brain washing from watching too much tv? yep, it happens.
