Digital TV

By chance I was at Target on Reisterstown Road just inside the Baltimore Beltway (there are two on that street) just two days ago, and looked at tv's. They had what they called a kitchen tv for 185 dollars iirc, about 8" screen. It was digital. Then I noticed a tv for even less, 145 maybe, with a much bigger screen. But there was a catch.

I don't know about the FCC but I was at Target two days ago, and they had at least two models that were not digital. The shelf-edge price sign for each had a paragraph on the right that was at least 40 words long that said that the tv would only work with cable and satellite after that date early next year.

Well, that's what Hiawatha says all right, but either he was wrong or something has changed or Target is ignoring the law. I doubt it is the third one because they went to a lot of trouble to print those signs, which were very nicely done, and they could have just not accepted those tv's in the first place.

The law says manufactured after "X" date. Old stock can still be sold.
