Switching to Digital TV

Everything You Need to Know

About the Book

Will your TV go blank on February 17, 2009? That's the date that all U.S. television stations switch to digital broadcasting -- effectively making obsolete every analog television set in the country.

What do you need to do to keep watching television after the switch to digital? Do you need to buy a new television set? If so, what kind of set? Do you need a fancy high definition TV (HDTV)? Or is there a way to make your old TV still work with the new digital broadcasts? And what is digital television, anyway?

All your questions about the upcoming digital TV transition are answered in this book, Switching to Digital TV: Everything You Need to Know. Read this book before you do anything drastic -- and make sure you can still watch your favorite shows after February 17!

• How is digital TV different from analog?
