but this one?

There are a bazillion notices to stores selling analog TV's
that don't have a DTV tuner. Those sets need this label:

"CONSUMER ALERT

This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will
require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive
over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's
transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to
work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles,
VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. For more information, call
the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY:
1-888-835-5322) or visit the Commission's digital television website
at: [1]www.dtv.gov."


New sets need to have an NTSC/ATSC tuner. And you thought the only important
thing in TV's were the ANT/CATV setting! For those that care, ATSC will happen
in the UHF portion. The VHF and most of the UHF will be taken away for good.

Also expect an 800 megahertz rebanding in the future making obsolete older
Motorola trunktrackering scanners. Thanks Sprint/Nextel! It's going to cost
Nextel millions of dollars to accomplish. Scanner users will not be reimbursed.
