Does anyone know how the digital transition will affect “DX-ing”? With many of the VHF affiliates (ch. 2 through 13) shifting to UHF digital signals, the range of the television stations seems to be diminished. As I child, I enjoyed occasional glimpses of KHSL-TV (ch. 12) from Chico from the eastern outskirts of the San Francisco Bay Area. KSBW-TV came in strong on most days. Analog Sacramento stations came in very well. But now reception for Sacramento digital stations is very poor.

If you lost windows password. I think the best solution is making a windows password recovery disk with the third part utility. The disk works perfectly to recover windows password to “Blank”. It is also useful for administrator password recovery, you can wrote it to an blank CD or USB flash drive to recover administrator password.
