Analog to Digital TV Conversion
At midnight on February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format. So do you have an analog TV. Be Prepared Very Prepared !!!
The FCC will be hosting a Digital Television Consumer Education Workshop on Wednesday, September 26th, 2007, at FCC Headquarters, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC. http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-276258A1.doc
Consumers who rely on antennas (including outside antennas and "rabbit ears") to receive broadcast signals on TV sets having only analog tuners will need to obtain separate digital-to-analog set-top converter boxes to watch over-the-air TV. These boxes receive digital signals and convert them into analog format for display on analog TVs. Analog sets connected to such converter boxes will display digital broadcasts, but not necessarily in the full, original digital quality.
Wow. Now what am I going to do with my parents? They are kinda getting up there in age and will not get cable or things like direct tv. That set top box may not go well with them. I wonder if the TV stations will help out with installs?
