I just read an article in the National Educator's Association's
members magazine - I beleive from December, in their Consumer Q & A
section. Almost a whole page devoted to TRANSITION TO DIGITAL
BROADCASTING (mostly in regards to television). Most of their
information looks accurate to me - though I'm not that up on digital
transition yet. The article is credited to the US DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE. So, it was probably a PSA. What I found so interesting was
that one of the most powerful unions in the country chose to include
digital broadcasting transition in their publication. I wondered if
there isn't some hidden agenda??

Maybe, that most of the (US) population doesn't have a clue
and the government is a bit worried about it?

My Brother-in-law said that his co-workers argued with him that the
only way you could get digital TV was over cable or from satellite.
If they use over the air TV now, boy, are they going to be surprised
a year or so from now.
