Subject: [opendtv] Are HD Broadcasts Required by Feb. of 2009

A local Fox affiliate employee said they are working hard to upgrade their news to HD because it is required with the analog turn-off in Feb. 2009. Is that true now? I thought broadcasters were required to broadcast ATSC, but nothing about what definition (in fact, Table 2 isn't even official, correct?) I think he is mistaken but I didn't want to confront him on it because so much is changing so fast, perhaps I missed something somewhere.
