Digital TV
I started this blog to clear up some of the misunderstanding of what many commercials regarding this transition is all about. When it comes to television, many people simply want to sit down, and relax, and not think about the stress of their day. The last thing that is on a person’s mind is to go to the store, and see how much the Digital converters are, and fork out the money for them.
What people do not understand is that if they currently pay for their cable television, they do not have to worry about a thing. Subscribers who have cable or satellite tv are not going to be affected at all by the changes. The reason for that is because they are closed systems that are actually supplying a unique signal to the television that allow the television to send the analog signal that many people over the air already receive. The FCC is allowing those companies to provide the analog signal through their systems until 2012.
To keep things simple, the only people that would ever be affected by the switch are those that do not have any cable company whatsoever, and completely rely on the rabbit ears. I hope this clears up some of the confusion that is out there about the digital transition.
