Just read an interesting article today about ending analog TV transmissions.
This certainly affects me as i dont really want to deal with cable and use a "rabbit ears" antennae (you get used to it, i lived like that for 24 years in the UK before moving here and they still do). Anyone else out there staunchly against paying cable/satellite fees who will lose their signal around then? Do you really want to pony up $100 for a digital converter box or buy a new TV? I do however like the idea of using the frequency ranges for helpful things, not so much more cellphone type rubbish - who really needs to have full video conferencing on a phone, its bad enough with pics already!
