OverviewThis is the Safari online edition of the printed book.
On February 17, 2009, analog television
broadcasting in the United States will end. As of that date, all
television stations will switch to digital TV broadcasts --
effectively making obsolete every analog television set in the
country.
What do you need to do to keep watching
television after the switch to digital? Do you need to buy a new
television set? If so, what kind of set? Do you need a fancy high
definition TV? Or is there a way to make your old TV still work
with the new digital broadcasts? Should you switch to cable or
satellite television? And what is digital television, anyway? These
are just a few of the questions people are asking as the switch to
digital TV approaches.
All of these questions and more are answered
in this short book. Don't be one of the tens of millions of people
who are confused about the switch to digital TV and may lose their
broadcast signal on February 17! Buy this book and take the
guesswork out of the switch to digital TV!
