Don’t Be Surprised By Digital TV
by Rich Fiscus on August 24th, 2008
If you’re in the US it’s hopefully no surprise to you that most analog TV signals will be turned off on February 17, 2009. Unfortunately the government has done a particularly poor job of educating the public about what (if anything) needs to be done to prepare. This is hardly surprising since the FCC, an agency not exactly filled with public relations experts or educators, has been given sole responsibility for preparing the country.
I’ve written a new guide to help you figure out what, if anything, you need to do. You may need a Digital TV (to analog) converter, an ATSC tuner, or perhaps neither. Even if your TV is already equipped to receive digital broadcasts it’s possible you need a new antenna.
The most important thing is that you think about it sooner rather than later. Despite the availability of government vouchers for DTV converters, there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to find one if you go to a local retailer. If you want to make sure to beat the masses of people who will be scrambling to get ready before (or even after) next February you should have no problems being prepared.
You can also find more general information about Digital TV in another article I wrote for the Nero website.
