The Other Side of the Digital TV Transition




Everyone has at least heard of it. The transition to digital television is coming fast. Well here is a peek into the other side of the equation, the upgrades that broadcasters have to do in order to comply with the new rules.

With all the fun stuff I get to have my hands in with my job, its easy to forget that most people don't get to ever get to see a lot of it.

With that in mind, I bring to you, the first, in what will hopefully be a series of videos, that at least give you a peek at the other side of things.

What Kind of Fish is this?




I have had this fish in an aquarium for about 6 years, literally since he was less then an inch long, and totally transparent. At the beginning I thought he was probably a Bluegill, then as he grew, he looked less and less like one.

I have done some looking around and found some pictures of "Green Spotted Sunfish" and they look pretty similar to him, so I have pretty much been referring to him as such.

But I really don't know for sure if that is what he is, and other people have come up with their own ideas as to what he is.

Any fish experts out there?
