All Digital Is Coming
At midnight on February 17, 2009 all full power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100 percent full digital broadcasting. It's creating confusion for some people who think right now they have to go out and by a new digital t.v. But as Daryl Robinson, with Audio Video Inovators here in Lafayette points out, you don't just throw the baby out with the bath water. He says if you are paying for service through dish or cable, they are going to convert for you. If you have bunny ears on our t.v. the government is going to help you out in terms of getting a converter via coupon. To find out more information you can call 888-388-2009 if you have questions, and you can log onto http://www.mydtv2009.gov
