If you own an analog television and rely on an antenna to receive local channels, it's time to get ready. The day is coming when you will turn on your local stations and get nothing; no local news or weather,[url=http://www.ilyav.com/isabelmarant.php]isabel marant[/url], no local network affiliates. In fact, February 17, 2009 is the day!
Thanks to the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005, television stations will cease to transmit analog signals. February 19, 2009 is not far away so it's time to start preparing. Why the change?
Digital has slowly grown in popularity over the years. Not just in television, but all technologies. Remember the old Motorola cellular phone,[url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php‎]louboutin pas cher[/url], the thick black one that folded in half and displayed the dialed number in large red digits? Or the Zack Morris phone? The large grey AT&T phone that was symbolic of a 1980's businessman? They all ran on analog signals. When you made a phone call (or even connected to the internet with your modem),[url=http://www.mnfruit.com/doudounemoncler.php]doudoune moncler[/url], you were running on analog.
But, those days are fading. Many of us have cell phones and internet connections that use digital signals, now. That data package you have through your wireless carrier: digital. That broadband or cable connection you're using to read this article: digital. That WiFi you use at your local Starbucks: digital.
Of course, not all of us have made the upgrade. But, we're going to be forced to,[url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/abercrombie.php‎]abercrombie[/url], whether you like it or not.
Digital does have it's advantages. Back to television: digital provides cleaner picture,[url=http://www.mnfruit.com/doudounemoncler.php]doudoune moncler pas cher[/url], clearer sound,[url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url], and actually uses less energy. If you've visited the electronics department of your local Best Buy or Wal-Mart, you've seen the difference. Watch digital TV for a while and then go back to an analog TV. You'll be disappointed.
You don't have to go High-Def (HDTV). Standard Definition is fine (the picture isn't quite as clear but, in this writer's personal opinion, not too noticeable of a difference). But, you will have to go Digital.
Help is on the way,[url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url]!
It may not be much help,[url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]air jordan pas cher[/url]. The Government is issuing two $40 vouchers towards Digital TV converters for every household who applies,[url=http://www.ilyav.com/isabelmarant.php]isabel marant sneakers[/url]. These vouchers can be used anywhere and are to go towards the purchase of a converter. The converter will transcribe the digital signal to one which can be read by your analog television set.
The cost of this transition isn't cheap. Only $990 million is available for those vouchers (or 24.75 million televisions). If those funds are used up, another $510 million will be released (12.75 million TV's). After that, you will have to certify you do not subscribe to cable or satellite service in order to receive the voucher.
What to expect?
As we get closer and closer to the February 19, 2009 cut-off date, the transition is receiving more focus from the media. Perhaps,[url=http://www.mquin.com/saclancel.php]sac lancel[/url], not on the level of Y2K. But, it will be hard to forget the change will need to be made.
Nevertheless,[url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]air jordan pas cher[/url], the time is coming where eventually we will all go digital. Just like when your cellular provider told you that you could no longer use that old analog phone,[url=http://www.mnfruit.com/airjordan.php]air jordan[/url], you will be told to either get a new TV or the converter. If you choose not to, expect to turn on the news and find static.
