What is this HDTV control on television going on for contained by February? Does this tight unless we enjoy a HDTV or satelite

or cable with HD we can't survey. I have several room sizeTVs and several portable for carrying on leave or to work or wherever. Does this expect we will not be able to monitor our TV's . I can't afford to go and buy special equipment or up to date HDTVs just to see TV. In fact, here are millions of people who adjectives can't afford to buy adaptable equipment. As the world know, television is the poor man's entertainment. There is the elderly, the shut ins and frequent others who depend on their TVS that use outside or tv attached antennaes. Most of my TVs rely on the attached aereal antennae. Who came up next to this idea? Whose pockets is this going to wad from the changeover? and, most of all, Why do this to so various people when what we have worked and was available to everyone free, except the electricity used. If people hold satellite or cable, it is their choice to pay for it.
If I am adjectives wrong about HDTV please tolerate me and the millions of others who don't understand, know. Thank you


Answers:    You can still scrutinize TV for free on your old TV if you enjoy a set top converter box. You will not have to subscribe to a service to see the TV. You can still use the same antenna.

The content will be watered down (i.e. not soaring def) if you use your old set, but you can still see it.

Here's a blurb I picked up from http://www.dtv.gov

"To help consumers beside the DTV transition, the Government established the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a part of the Department of Commerce, administer this program. Every U.S. household is eligible to receive up to two coupons, worth $40 each, toward the purchase of eligible digital-to-analog converter boxes. You will be capable of request the coupons beginning surrounded by January of 2008. The coupons may only be used for eligible converter boxes sold at participating consumer electronics retailers, and the coupons must be used at the time of purchase. Manufacturers estimate that digital-to-analog converter boxes will flog from $40 to $70 each. This is a one-time cost. For more information on the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program, look in the NTIA’s website at www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon, or call 1-888-388-2009 (voice) or 1-877-530-2634 (TTY)."
