DTV Report Summary
One year from now 22 million Americans who rely on free over-the-air
analog broadcasting will be at risk of losing access to TV. On February
17, 2009, analog televisions that receive over-the-air signals will go
dark, unless they are retrofitted with digital converter boxes. For
many Americans who are hearing about the transition for the first time,
information about the change comes from electronic store retailers,
where consumers ask what is necessary to maintain TV reception- a
primary source for news, information and entertainment.
