BetaNews | Congress Expresses Concern Over Digital TV Switch


If you are a part of the 19% of Americans still receiving your TV signal from your rabbit-ears antenna via over the air broadcast you may want to know that coming February 2009 Congress has decided to pull the plug on analog TV broadcasting. In the meantime Americans need to make the switch to cable, satellite, fiber, or over the air digital high-definition broadcast requiring an HDTV compatible antenna. You can most likely benefit from this free broadcast HDTV right now if you have a digital tuner in your TV combined with the HDTV antenna. Have an HDTV is almost exclusively necessary to have a digital tuner. To summarize if you want to keep watching TV for free after February 2009 you'll need to make sure you have an HDTV television set along with an HDTV antenna. Both HDTV's and antennas are available from low-end to high-end at various retailers such as WalMart, Best Buy, Circuit City, and more.
