The despatch, released late last week, says the D.C. Office of Cable Television violated procurement policies by issuing a unique-source contract to a start-up company "without adequate justification and reasonable assurance" that the contractor could do the toil.
In addition to the cost of the contract, which was canceled before the project was completed, the cable TV office bought more than $3 million in new HDTV apparatus that was never installed or used.
"This contractual agreement also violated OCT's internal operations policy on equipment and facilities manipulation and was inconsistent with responsible stewardship over District funds," the report concludes.
The audit states that James Brown, former cicerone of the cable TV office, and other city officials entered into a four-year contract with Mason Production Services in August 2006 to intend and market the HDTV studio.
At the time, the office was looking to upgrade programming on government-access channels, which transmission D.C. Council meetings, school events and mayoral news briefings.
It is already on my standard-definition TV into an HD TV again via a conversion box or what?
No, but you can get some HDTV tuner plugs into your standard-def. TV (SDTV) and do not use digital channels available for analog TV. And the quality is so much better, because the digital and its free to be. I have one and get over 30 channels free, clear, with my antenna.

What is the difference beetween a hd ready tv and a full hd tv?
Jul 21, 2008 by DJCusack | Posted in TVs
I am planning to buy a HD TV. But what is the difference between an HD ready TV and a Full HD TV?. Will they both show my ps3 in hd?
In general, something called "HD-Ready" lacks an ATSC (aka digital) tuner for OTA HD programming (for example) with an antenna. This is one of those terms, which is incredibly vague and means different things to different.
Check the details. If it supports a 1920x1080 resolution, is what most people, a "Full HD" or "would call 1080p" TV.
