TV Broadcast format is Changing in 2009
Written by John   
Friday, 14 March 2008

So, starting February 17, 2009 the TV broadcast industry is changing formats.  Almost everyone is confused about what that means.  The following report and web page explains the change and more importantly who is affected:

"By law, full-power television stations nationwide must switch from the old method of transmitting TV signals known as analog to digital television (DTV) on February 17, 2009. DTV is an innovative new type of broadcasting technology that delivers movie-quality pictures and sound, more channels, and even high definition television (HDTV) to consumers with HD television sets.

While the benefits of DTV are remarkable, millions of households risk losing television reception unless they take the easy steps to receive a digital signal. We're here to assist you throughout the entire transition process.", http://dtvanswers.com/
