I just saw a little blurb about it - (watched on a completely digital
television set that doubles as a computer but only receives analog TV
signals. It uses a big CRT tube rather than flat panel - the irony...)
But it said that the switchover occurs at the end of '08. Starting in '09

Thanks, Charlie, for the additional info. So I was off by a year. It was true this time last year. I think they're serious now. Most of our stations here have already geared up with not only digital facilities, but also hi-def. The major exception is our public broadcasting station which may or ma
The two big players are Sirius and XM. They use different satellite
technology, but the companies are in the process of merging at the business
level. It looks like both hardware platforms will be supported for the

Technical aspects aside, as a conservative I prefer XM. Hipp
Thanks, Charles. This is most helpful.

The problem, David, is that after the first of the year, all broadcasters are required to switch to digital signals, so even if you have a "tube tv," you won't be able to pick up the signals. Ostensibly this has been done to free up analog bandwidth for the various devices we use these days--in p
