The DTV2009 Transition Guide For The Uninformed: All You Need To Know About The Coming Analog-To-Digital TV Transition In 7 Days

The switch from analog to digital broadcasts will be complete in exactly one year: February 17, 2009. At that time analog signals will be switched off for good and the 13 million of you in the US that Nielsen says rely completely on analog signals need to begin preparing for the big switch now. Another 6 million of you have at least one TV in your home that relies on analog signals and if you don't want to be staring at a snowy screen come the big day, you need to prepare as well. When it comes right down to it preparation is fairly simple: you either need to purchase a digital TV, buy a converter box, or subscribe to a subscription TV service. That's it, that's all. But because the FCC hasn't done a terribly great job at informing consumers about the digital transition and even big box employees routinely hand out faulty information about the switch to questioning consumers, we figured we'd give you all the information you need here at TVSnob over the next week. So stay tuned for "The DTV2009 Transition Guide For The Uninformed".
