Say Bye-Bye Analogue TV Welcome, family, to "The Digital Age".
Ready or not, it's time to throw out those rabbit ears with the duck tape and foil on them. You know the one's Big Mama still uses on the tv.
If you're one of the 1 in 5 Americans refusing to switch over to cable or satellite, you're black a-- will be forced to as of February 17, 2009.
Why? Because U.S. stations will no longer broadcast analogue signals. After 50 years, as of March 1, production on analogue tv sets have ceased. Soon, they won't be available for new purchase either. (fyi - analogue just means over-the air, like how you watched The Brady Bunch, Good Times, I Dream of Jeannie, What's Happenning... we digress)
Finances stressing you - don't trip. In 2008, the federal government will begin making $40 vouchers available (maximum two per household) to assist certain consumers in acquiring converters for the television sets already in their homes.
