My family is considering switching from Comcast basic analogue cable tv service to Dish Network service along with Comcast High Speed Internet to Earthlink DSL. However, I have a bunch of questions:
When will the FCC finally decide to shut off the current analogue TV spectrum and do the switch over to HDTV digital transmissions?
How will that effect both our current Comcast service when the FCC makes its decision? Doesn't that mean our old analogue TVs need to be upgraded to HDTV ready TVs such as LCD, Plasma, DLP, etc?
How does the basic Dish network package fit into all of this? In other words, will current and future subscribers need to upgrade to the VOOM HDTV programming package (or some other HDTV programming company in the likely even that VOOM ceases to exist) along with buying those expensive HDTV ready TVs as well?
We are confused as all heck on this one. Answers along with web resources will be greatly appreciated.
