TV: Counting down to the digital deadline

Washington Post: TV: Counting Down to the Digital Deadline

Television as most people have known it has a little more than two years to live, writes Rob Pegoraro, tech columnist with the Washington Post. Feb. 17, 2009 is the date Congress has set for analog broadcasts to end. But on that date "your favorite shows could turn to static." Thanks to IWantMedia for the pointer.

I wrote about this in Darknet, and I doubt Congress will stick to its guns and let analog televisions go black in just two years' time.
