Is your TV old? If so, and you love free TV through antenna, take ...
There are 392 days of conventional analog TV broadcasting left. On Feb. 17, 2009, all TV is going digital. That means people who use analog sets with antennas have 392 days to find an alternative way of receiving the digital signals. The countdown clock has been ticking since 1996, when Congress passed a law requiring the conversion from analog to digital broadcasting, said Rosemary Kimball, director of media relations with the Federal Communications Commission. "The analog spectrum is being reclaimed and will be given over to public safety uses like fire, police and ambulance service," she said. "Digital is a much more efficient use of the spectrum, and it offers a better picture quality. It also allows the opportunity for multicasting. Each station can offer several channels of programming at the same time." Longview-Kilgore Cable TV already is receiving and transmitting digital signals, said Chuck Launius, regional vice president of the company.
