This was announced quite a while ago. I heard they were planning to give out convertors for old TVs for a while, not sure if that's true though.

| I heard about this months ago. At first I thought it was a joke then I saw that it was true. However, if they do raise the price on a converter, expect there to be people who can't afford one to wake-up one day and find there's no television. Communication on that level would come to a halt, thus adding to the hype. The price on new digital televisions would probably rise as well. That intern would cause the demand/price of a converter to go even higher as well.(although, plain radio might be the alternative for people who can't buy one.) -------------------- That's not Justice, This...IS JUSTUS |

I don't watch much TV, but I already have a digital TV tuner.

| Also, it is important to mention that if you watch cable or satellite TV right now, you have nothing to worry about. The analog to digitial TV conversion only effects people who get TV over the air using rabbit air antennaes or one of those rooftop directional antennae. |

| I believe that it is one of the stupidest ideas ever, but it does make sense to allow emergency communication to be the only things to use radio waves. I understand that they need the emergency communication to change all the TVs to allow digital TV programming, but seeing as there are people with no money or who can't buy one, I think that it is not necessary to cause someone to waste money so that they may be able to enjoy quality TV programming without having to pay cable companies. Of course, how would they be able to tell if someone is not using one of those digital-to-analog converter boxes? Maybe if they hear the communication becoming sloppy, but still, people want to have the ability to watch TV without having a long cable connected to a TV. Most of the time, emergency communication isn't happening anywhere near them. Having all TVs change to digital programming will help people whose lives are in danger, but I'm against having to change the way my TV gets signal, even if it doesn't apply to me. -------------------- Yes, I'm here. |

| As far as having a digital television, my family just bought a new HD T.V.(which I never watch By-the-way) So were're covered as far as geting a digital signal. The television also uses an anolog rabbit-ear antenna to catch its signals. -------------------- That's not Justice, This...IS JUSTUS |
