Milwaukee HDTV User Group

I've made the decision that it's time to wind things down here.  There has been very little activity here in quite a long time now that we're over 10 years past the DTV transition.  The domain comes up for renewal in February,  I will renew it for one more year.  I've already disabled registrations for new users, most of it over the past couple years has been spam bots anyway.   In February 2026, this site will fade into the sunset, just one year shy of it's 25th anniversary.

Thank you everyone for your contributions over the past 20+ years

While I'm a Milwaukee native (hence why I'm here), I live in Nashville now, all 4 network affiliates are currently at least listed as broadcasting in ATSC 3.0.  I don't have a TV capable, so I can't verify this.

Better late than never - looking forward to 720p

Milwaukee is a "target market" - who will be the first to deploy?

Probably long overdue, finally adding a board for all things ATSC 3.0.  If there is enough volume, I may move this to it's own category.

15 years after the DTV transition, it looks like WVCY will finally be going HD tomorrow (Sept. 25th) and 1pm.

Things continue to be very quiet here.   I've made the decision to disable registrations. For the past year or so, possibly more, all the registrations have been spam bots,  as you may of seen times when there was a large amount of spam posts here as well, which I've removed as soon as I saw them.  I will keep things going at least for the foreseeable future, and won't be making the forums read only.  With disabling new user registrations this should keep the volume of spam down.

The milwaukeehdtv.org domain comes up for renewal in a few weeks, while I will be renewing it, at least for another year or two, I've been thinking if this is needed anymore.   We're way past the HDTV conversion, the only other thing of any relevance is ATSC 3.0.  I had a thought of making most, if not all boards read only to preserve this moment it Milwaukee's history.   What are your thoughts?   Is there any ideas people have to get some more life here, or is it time to just let it fade away?

Thanks for your feedback!

Well, we're now 12 years into the DTV transition, thigs here have been very very quiet, except for a recent spam attack.   Is there anything missing here, new topics that could be added perhaps?   

I'm beginning to thing this forums time has past, but I'd like to keep things going.   I'm open to any ideas.

And finally, all the spam....except for one message has been removed.   Apologizes for the interruptions.
