Well, somebody better tell all the big box stores to stop selling analog
tvs! They dont seem to be short on inventory at all. And if they stop
working while still on warranty because of no signal either the
manufacturers or the stores are going to have to fix that somehow. I can
just see the faces on those millions of people sitting on the couch when the
tv screen goes to snow. They wont get upset, they will just run out and buy
a digital tv.

> There was a post 6/10 from Dominic Dileo with a link to the EE Times I
think, that the date was Mar. 2006 for 27" and above and July 2007 for
anything under 13" as I recall.  That the target date for ending analog
transmission was Dec 2006. You must have seen it. If you didn't I still have
it if interested. Was this incorrect and if so, who has, or where is, the "
absolute" correct information?
