Did you know that starting February 2009, analog TV will be no more? That's right - all TV signal will go digital and if you still have a rabbit ear TV antenna, you'd need to convert the analog signal to digital.
Here's 99-year-old Mae LaBorde of the Talkshow with Spike Ferensten helping us prepare for the big switch: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/funny_pages_20/2008/10/digital-convers.html [embedded YouTube] - Thanks Marilyn!
Pretty funny though. They're apparently worried about fraud in the sale of converter boxes. They'll bail out rich bankers, but fret over coupons to people who don't subscribe to cable and have old TVs.
If you mean "in America", you should remember to write that when you're on the web, seeing as the two first w:s in your own URL don't refer to it being a local concern.
It did bring up a good point about the conversions. This will be so confusing to a few people out there.
Those old TVs they showed in the beginning are awesome. I wish I watched TV on those - umm, maybe not.
