Why your TV Will Die on February 17, 2009 (and What you Should Do About It!)
It?s coming!
It?s coming on February 17, 2009! It?s about to cut off the signal to your TV, and most likely you?re not prepared for it!
It?s almost as big a shift in home entertainment as happened sixty years ago when television replaced radio in America?s living rooms!
It?s DTV! Digital Television is going to change the way you watch television, and how you interact with your TV set. You?re finally going to get movie theater quality picture and sound at home!
? Digital TV is also going to reach into your pocketbook! All U. S. broadcast stations will stop sending analog TV signals, the kind your regular TV reads, on February 17, 2009. Without a new converter box, your TV will not work!
? Many stations are broadcasting a digital DTV signal right now along side their analog signal, but after 2009 they?ll only transmit in DTV.
? This digital signal can only be properly viewed on a new Plasma, DLP or LCD TV. If you don?t own one, you?ll need a converter box to watch digital signals ?dumbed down? to show on your analog TV. In addition to the new Big Screen TV, you’ll also need a Dolby Surround Sound amplifier and speakers to get the DTV Dolby sound.
? All new TVs sold must have a digital tuner built-in as of March 1, 2007. Your old analog TV will need a set top converter box to receive television broadcasts after February 2009.
? Your cable provider may be able to send you digital cable or digital satellite signals right now, but that doesn?t mean that you can see High Definition programs on your television. If you have an old style picture tube television, a converter in your cable box can take the digital signal and ?dumb it down? to analog so that you can see it. You?re still not seeing the super sharp DTV picture, or hearing the crystal clear digital sound.
? Digital Pictures will be free from the flicker, ghosts and snow seen on analog transmissions.
