Re: 2/17/2009 - All DIGITAL TV Transition Discussions go here

I could refer back to my post, but I think, since now we have this sticky, is worth to repeat it here:

www.ncta.com/IssueBrief.aspx?contentId=2688

It shows how Cable Cos will handle the dtv transition:

"The good news for cable customers is that the digital transition should be easy. Thanks to a compromise adopted by the FCC in September 2007, cable companies will carry the main digital signal of “must carry” commercial broadcast TV stations and will duplicate that signal into analog format so that all channels can be viewed on any older analog TV sets connected to cable.

Cable’s carriage of the signals in both digital and analog formats will ensure that all customers will see commercial broadcast TV signals after the transition. This approach will make the digital transition effortless for all cable customers and provide valuable assistance to commercial TV stations trying to reach all of the homes in their region."

So hopefully by Feb 2009 the # of analogs in my area will drop from the current 70 or so to about 17, which will free up tons of spectrum for new HD channels, more Internet speed, etc.
