And coming from Analog TV switch to digital format for transmission over the air TV signals come on, more and more private companies, including companies, cable companies have made plans to educate the public about the transition. When the transition is made to digital TV on February 17, 2009, people who have been dependent on-air broadcast TV and that they did not have a digital TV or converter box set-Analog TV they can not see on TV. That is why, on February 17, 2009 Analog broadcasts will be turned off and only digital signals will remain.

This transition, which has been in the works since the mid-nineteenth-nittiotalet has attracted criticism from several sources. For example, some consumer groups claim that the transition is one way for electronics manufacturers to increase their profits by forcing consumers to the new TV equipment. While this scenario may hide the truth or not, certainly do not have the basic facts. For example, despite widespread knowledge that the analog to digital transition will come at some point (due in February 2009 set wasn t until last year and also applies at the end of the original deadline), electronics manufacturers and retailers have been selling only the Analog TV together without disclaimer warning consumers that their new TV will become obsolete and does not mean necessary before removal of the normal wear and tear.

This clearly puts the consumer in a position where they must either buy a new TV, buy a converter box that changes digital signals analog signals before sending them on TV, or subscribe to cable or satellite service. Without hesitation, the government plans to purchase converter boxes, but this assistance is expected to cover the full cost of year t converter box. In each case, the consumer electronics industry clearly benefit from the transition regardless of whether consumers pay for converter boxes directly or through taxes that fund social security.

Another, more widespread, criticism of how the transition is handled is focused on public education. Recent studies show that many people especially the part that depends on-air TV broadcasts they do not even know exactly what digital TV, let alone that all broadcast digital transition will happen soon. For this reason, some analysts have spread so far as to predict when social absence, under two years from now, viewers in the air from his TV to find that they can no longer enjoy their favorite programming. While it is not true, it is clear that the government has allocated funds for education about the transition is not enough.

In another development, Chairman of the Board of Energy and Commerce Committee, Representative John Dingell, recently promised not to allow the U.S. to their TVs without the transition. It seems as much a political stance and not very honest. In each case, when only tells you how the transition happens smoothly.
