Full-power television stations will turn off their analog signal on Feb. 17, 2009


Best Buy Nervous (Associated Press) Read full article about being able to supply customers with the millions of digital TV converter boxes needed ahead of the shutdown of most analog TV transmissions in 13 months. Full-power television stations will turn off their analog signal on Feb. 17, 2009, after which they will broadcast in digital only. Viewers who receive their signals through an antenna instead of cable or satellite and don't have a digital-ready TV will have to buy a converter.

I have digital cable so Best Buy won't have to worry about me. :)

PS There will be an award for you at my place tomorrow.
