There is nothing wrong with your television set.

A 2009-05-01T01:11Z message (which seems not to have been
archived here:
  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=mingw-dvlpr
or anywhere else, not even at gmane.org) on the closed
<address@hidden> mailing list says that
this file was updated about a week ago. The sourceforge.net
download page:
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
still shows a date in January, as do the release notes on
sourceforge, but that's sourceforge for you:
  We are controlling transmission.
  We will control the horizontal.
  We will control the vertical.

Here's a mirror that presents a sane ftp interface:
  ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/pc/mingw/
which correctly shows a May date.

I updated 'install_mingw.make' on 20090508T0233Z to reflect
this unadvertised MinGW change.

We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set.
