A bill has just passed the US House of Representatives, which will require TV stations to broadcast in digital only beginning in February 2009. Which means that if you have an old style TV it will not receive anything over the air after that date. Congress is planning on offering vouchers to help purchase converters to keep our old sets running. But apparently the converters won't be free.
I have no idea where this is going to leave Canadians.

I've been watching the prices since then, so I know they've started to collapse. I'll probably get an HD next year sometime, depending on my finances.
The VHS recorder in my TV died amonth ago. I decided it was worth it to go out and buy a recorder to be able to play my dwindling tape collection till the new techonologies settle down.
