    US President signs analogue TV cut-off bill

    TWICE - the leading US consumer electronics trade magazine reports:

    Washington — President George W. Bush signed a budget package on Wednesday that included establishment of a Feb. 17, 2009, hard date to transition the nation’s television broadcasts to 100 percent digital transmissions.

    The date will require US broadcasters to end transmissions of analog television signals.

    A consumer education program was included to alert consumers about the approaching switch over to digital TV broadcasting and instruct them on how to acquire digital-to-analog converter boxes to continue receiving free over-the-air broadcasts on their current analog television sets.
    More (but you'll need to register with TWICE).

    Here's a CNET link for those who'd rather not register.
