H_Key - In article , jkelly@newsguy.comsays: Very few people realize that there is a sunset on analog tv. Of those, very few actually believe it will happen. Congress forgets that the people that will be forced to buy a bunch of new tv's and convertors are the same people that elect them to office. I have never believed the Dec 31, 2006 sunset date for NTSC.The other thing to remember is that NTSC has been the standard sincethe beginning of television. Even when color came around (Which is anodd little kludge to deliver color!) the old B&W sets still worked,even a set made close to 60 years ago can still pull signals out ofthe air and display moving images.The switch to HDTV is a whole different ball game. No backwardcompatibility at all. This is unique, particularly when you consider therapid change that has occurred in the voice telecom field, yet you canstill wire in a set made a century ago and use it. And VoIP providersjust provide a standard POTS port on their routers except they may notinterpret dial-pulse. But essentially it's the same. Cellular still hasn't gone 100% digital, it seems odd to me that analog cellular seems to be getting a longer sunset period than analog television is getting (based on when digital cellular service first became available vs. when DTV became available). And people have more tv's than cellphones, I have two cellphones in my household, but have seven televisions.After the 2009 cutoff for NTSC signals, you'll see cell providers startcranking digital signals down in the UHF bands of the former TV plan.Lower frequency = better propagation, less multi-path etc.
