It was the FCC in the US that put that law into effect and all TV signals in the US will have to be digital by 2006. That means that if you don't have a digital ready TV now you will have to have a set top box. That is also why the TV manufactures are dumping the analogue TVs with some giving them away to clear the stock. The good point to this is that they can stack 4 or 5 channels on one signal taking up less band width also less or no interference. Also better clarity and sound that is not do-able with analogue. Satellite TV is already digital with the set top box so they are years ahead of many of the rest. Well here are my thoughts on this. First, I don't believe that the FCC has any power to regulate any laws. As they can only make recommendations for the lawmakers to do so. Second, High Definition TV was supposed to kick in a little while ago (same thing as digital TV perhaps?). Well this was cancelled because most consumers didn't even own one yet. Third, you know companies are going to sell digital TV tuner boxes that will work with analog TV sets anyway, if something like this gets past. Plus they will still work with game machines, VCRs, and DVD players anyway.

has any power to regulate any laws the original poster was either mistaken or misinformed. The FCC did not pass that law. Congress did. And Congress does have the power to pass that law. |
