    Switch to all digital broadcasts in the US in Feb 09

    I was just reminded that the US will be switching all broadcast TV formats to digital starting on Feb 17, 2009. I imagine that means everyone will have to switch to an HDTV before then if they plan to watch anything, including local news and TV.

    I wonder how that will pan out with the economy as shaky as it is. Will everyone be able to afford new TVs in time for this change? It makes a new TV a great Christmas gift idea, but in my family that's 4 TVs that we'll have to replace. Also since it is Christmas gift buying season, I wonder at how limited the selection will be with everything selling out.

    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
