old school - out with analog tv signals



ok so that big black bulky tv in your basement or that wee 12' tv in your kids room will soon need to replaced..if you want to use it for regular tv programs. however it will still be useful for the kids who huddle in the basement playing video games for hours on end

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE AN ANALOG OR DIGITAL TELEVISION?
To find out if you have an analog or digital television, you need to check your television set to identify whether you have an analog or a digital tuner.

To do so, start with your owner's manual. If it is not listed in the manual, contact the retailer where you originally purchased the television. Note that your manual may not use the terms "digital tuner" or "analog tuner". A digital tuner could also be listed as "ATSC tuner". An analog tuner could also be listed as "NTSC tuner".

Sets with integrated digital or digital/analog tuners will continue to receive over-the-air digital television once the transition has taken place.
Sets with an analog tuner will no longer receive over-the-air television once the transition takes place without the addition of a set-top converter box.
If your set does not have a tuner at all, then you have a monitor rather than a television.



so perfect timing with a poor economy to upgrade to a sexy new flat screen that you can hang on the wall. you will need to replace them before feb 09

or not upgrade considering there is so much crap out there called "entertainment" ..im just saying that reality tv and pathetic games shows or the like says alot about our current society..and when they mention this generation in social studies years from now they will not be surprised by the drop in average grades for young people..com'on, what is the biggest looser really?
