I know this isn't two way stuff, but just for info for those that don't use cable or satellite
23 stations in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose and the Salinas-Monterey markets will do a 2-minute DTV test between 7:28pm and 7:30pm on Wednesday 12/17.
This is part of a coordinated effort sponsored by the National Association of Broadcasters and the FCC. It is actually expected to occur around the same local time across all four time zones of the US resulting in thousands of stations participating.
This should be interesting given the national factor and that it is a full two minutes, plus later in the evening when the number of television sets actually in use is pretty high.
There will be another two tests for at least the San Francisco Bay Area in January and in February.
The notice also reminds everyone that they will need to rescan their receivers on February 18 for changes that will occur during the transition. Several Bay Area and Monterey-Salinas stations will be making channel changes.

FYI Monterey/Salinas area the test will strat at 6pm
