In 2/09, per FCC rules, all analog TV broadcasting will cease and everything will be digital. So, every current, non-digital, non-HD TV, VCR, DVD recorder (recording off the air), etc. will no longer work.
From what I see at Circuit City, the current crop of DVD recorders all have analog tuners (NTSC and PAL. not ATSC). Therefore, they have a lifespan of about 20 months and then they'll be useless, other than playing prerecorded DVDs. Am I missing something? Why are these not available with digital tuners, like the current LCD and plasma TV's?
