Looking for a new TV?

[Mr. P]

Maybe you should wait.

Currently, Congress is considering legislation to require a firm deadline for the transition to digital-only television broadcasting which will eliminate analog signals that most televisions sets are designed to receive. Unless those sets are connected to cable or satellite services, they will stop receiving broadcasts after the final transition.

I read the date they are looking at is Dec.31 08

they will make converters for the non compliers for a couple years after that.
we get a brief on this about once a week. kind of looking forward to it. im sick and tired of trying to explain why analogs look worse than digital signals. or worse yet, why a high def. box doesnt like analog signals period.

Yes, analog will still be usable, estimated cost for the converter, $50-$100..in addition to the cost of a new analog TV if you're in the market to buy one.
