Current Talk '06 II / Re: Goodbye to DS on Broadcast TV in 2009?
« on: November 29, 2006, 09:03:18 PM »
My roommate still uses the rabbit ears. I've officially given up on broadcast TV although a friend of mine has been taping the new Dr. Who which I watch (I'm still halfway through Christiopher Eccleston) so I guess I'm cheating.
Thanks, Buzz, for posting this. I'd figured out that the shift was to Digital, not HD, but in running a Google search I discovered that a lot of the consumers who are aware of the 2009 cutoff date are confused on this point. Since it's Digital, that means that old shows on video will still be available to broadcasters, so long as they are in digital format--like our DVDs from the Dark Shadows master reels.
