My TV that I use for my VP is an analog - will that be affected as well?

the VP100 and VP200 or VCR or analog equipment does not affect after 2009. but if you want watch TV over the air you have to buy digital converter box anytime but the analog signal will be sign off after Feb 17,2009 . if you subscribe to the cable TV without converter box until 2012 or until they decide to shut off analog signal on the cable. all-digital package you have to require a digital cable converter to convert to analog signal to your current analog TV. If you subscribe to the DBS Satellite like as DirecTV or Dish Network, the satellite receiver will use to old analog TV because the receiver did already convert from digital to Analog until TV dies. If you want buy New HDTV then you have to buy new Satellite HDTV receiver. if you subscribe to the HDTV signal over the cable you have to rent HDTV set top converter to view encypted HDTV signal or premium channels.

No, it will not affect VP itself. VP itself already analog, and will never convert to Digital, so it will always work with analog TV even after the turn off of analog signals. Those analog signals that is being cut off got nothing to do with VP, and no part of VP conversations goes to air, right? They all go though Internet. Guess what? Internet is digital and VP still works!

I don't means about VP.

I was means about if they want this tv to watch over the air shows, when in case if other tv isn't working.

I know VP has nothing with NTSC or ATSC.

the biggest concern when Analog TV is turn off by Feb 2009. There are major problem show up in many certain area such as low level, between hills or whatever, cannot get the full function on basic channels: NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC and CW. Either of channels are miss. Not only CC function but the voice too. These tower need to tune up better to make better receive. Maybe bad antenna, but it's unfortunately, most apartment, condo or rent house, depend on their HOA policy will allow or not allow to have big n' better antenna on roof or out of patio.

I have make several research on antennweb.org to find where I could point. Hope it work well with my power-up antenna. Probably, I would want to get new n' better antenna. eh..

Am I the only one who thinks of George Orwell's book 1984 whenever the news talk about this issue?

sara1981 · 06-08-2008, 12:09 AM

i saw on tv many times and will off of analog in 2009 and i will miss that cables what i do!

Foxrac · 07-23-2008, 04:06 AM

Just remain, it's 7 month to left until analog shutdown.

If you currently own analog TV and need using over the air then get converter box by Feb 17, 2009, and you can apply for coupons to buy it for discount, or you can subscribe on analog cable until 2012 or subscribe on digital cable for extra channels.

For me, I don't need it, I already own HDTV with digital tuner and using Directv.

***Calvin*** · 07-23-2008, 07:46 AM

Not worried about that since I bought HDTV and uses HDMI cable

Argyle · 08-04-2008, 09:04 PM

thanks

mebedeaf · 08-05-2008, 07:28 PM

Yeah. I don't worry about that. All my families have cable then satellite for years. Last time we had analog antenna with local over the air channels was in 1998. I look forward to the transition change.

this has nothing to do with using 3.5" disks.

Hear Again · 01-09-2009, 12:23 AM

i'm ready for the transition. my 6 year old 32 inch analog LCD tv bit the dust last week, so i now have a brand new 32 inch HDTV.

by the way, i hope obama is able to postpone the digital transition a little longer. from what i understand, some people have been unable to use their coupons for a digital converter box because the expiration date had already passed while others are still waiting for their coupons to arrive in the mail.

I hear again! Stop that! Seriously... I'm saying that it's concept that anyone who wouldn't move on to new thing. Stick with old crap that doesn't do that well. So, I'm saying that analog during my experience, it's frickin crap. I find that digital antenna is more clear

You know what's funny? Obam's quote as he suppose promise

"Yes! We can change!" Yet, he want to postpone to allow we remind same? Tsk. That's sad.

diehardbiker · 01-09-2009, 12:39 PM

Now you can see why I don't believe any politicans, they are full of "it".

I am tired of all election campaigns, I quit voting because all I hear PROMISES, but most of them are not kept once they get elected. Guess they are too busy doing this...

He just want to give enough time for as many americans to get coupons on the digital tv tuners as possible.

Besides, a delay isnt going to kill anyone.
