Whats going on with digital vs. analog television?
A.) For some time now, the FCC has been trying to get the United States TV broadcasters and consumers to use digital television equipment for a number of reasons. Though digital television (DTV) has been slow to catch on, the FCC has officially set February 17, 2009 as the last day for traditional analog TV broadcasting, because they want to resell the RF VHF spectrum space for other projects. Don’t worry though, you can purchase an ATSC set-top box to continue using an older TV once this occurs. For more information on the analog/digital television transition, see the following article.
