The Digital TV Transition

What ::

The switch from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel. Later, Congress mandated that February 17, 2009 would be the last day for full-power television stations to broadcast in analog. Broadcast stations in all U.S. markets are currently broadcasting in both analog and digital. After February 17, 2009, full-power television stations will broadcast in digital only.

By Justin Davey
This, my friends, is what happens when the government delays the DTV
transition, some stations go ahead with it anyway and a 70 year old man
loses his cable while drunk. Yep, a senior man in Missouri, drunk, ticked
off about the fuzz on his old TV and his inability to set up his converter
box, pulled a gun on the innocent analog set and blew it away. The old
hog–meaning the man rather than the TV–was arrested and charged with
unlawful use … Digital TV Transition 2009 …
