Editorial Review:
Product Description:
As you probably already know, America's switch from analog to digital TV broadcasting is nearing completion. A government mandate requires that all full-power TV stations stop broadcasting analog signals and switch to 100% digital broadcasting by February 17, 2009. Compared to analog, digital broadcasts provide a sharper picture and more programming options but you need the right equipment to watch them. The digital transition will primarily affect the 15-20 million TV viewers who rely on local over-the-air broadcasts received via antenna. After Feb. 17, 2009, all old-fashioned TVs (those with an analog-only tuner) will need to be connected to a digital-to-analog converter box, or replaced by a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Roughly 85% of TV-viewing households subscribe to cable or satellite TV, and if that's your situation, you shouldn't experience any interruption in service. If necessary, your TV service provider will supply a set-top box that will work with your TV. Electronics makers have spent the last two years designing simple, low-cost converter boxes that connect between your antenna (either outdoor or indoor) and your TV. You'll need a converter box for each TV. The box will provide a crisp, ghost-free picture approximately DVD quality but not high-definition. These converter boxes are expected to sell for $40 - $70, and you'll be able to buy them at many consumer electronics stores starting in February or March, 2008. You can reduce the cost significantly by taking advantage of the government's coupon program.
