There's a date (I forget) that the U.S. is supposed to be all digital. FCC. It's coming up soon. I don't think it'll happen. But, I think it'll change things quicker. Prices will drop and availibility will increase. Till then I'm screwed!

they are shooting for 2 years from now for all US broadcasts to be HD. this date has already been pushed back from earlier times, so who knows when it will happen. small time broadcasters are standing strong against it due to initial costs of converting everything over...

my prediction is more like 3-4 years until they can realistically implement this...

Atually that is in regards to going digital, not high-def. Which is what Fabian is talking about, HD. We have a few broadcasts in HD, but not much, nor do I see it happeing anytime soon due inpart to copyright protection. We should all be going digital fairly soon.


Peace Out~:D
