lable TV sets
In an article mentioning that FCC is requiring retailers to label TV sets, I came across the why...
....without a special converter box -- these TVs will not receive signals through antennas once broadcasters switch to the digital format.
I have a feeling that our set a hand me down from Gma isn't digital (in fact I think it is from the 80's..did they even know about digital then?
Since we have no cable, we only use the rabbit ears, and I really don't think those ears from the 70s accept digital signals...we wont have TV after 2009...
Considering we have watched 2 hours of TV the last 3 weeks (lost and the time before/ right after lost) I don't think I will mind much...not that I don't want a fancy flat screen digital whatever thing. (mostly cause flat screen should be up on the wall, taking up less space!) Just that I would rather own my house and car than a TV....
Besides the TV works fine for video...which is what the kids managed 2 hours of this month.
