Old TVs to be phased-out by 2009


An announcement has been made by the US Congress that there will be a conversion of broadcasting. Digital broadcasting will be introduced; TVs with analog tuners will become useless by 2009. In other words, you should go out and buy a TV with a digital tuner and then you can watch shows in HD because of digital broadcasting! Converters from digital to analog are also available at around $70.
HD-capable TVs are OK. Also, if you have cable TV, you don't have to worry about this.

The Philippines may be affected by this conversion by 2010.
