OK guys, I think most of you appear to have a slight confusion on what all of this means. There is a significant difference between DIGITAL broadcast, and HDTV. Digital signal is just that...DIGITAL. ANY digital receiver can receive the signal, pretty much any TV can be used, you just need a receiver, and the receiver only needs to be a DIGITAL receiver, NOT HDTV. HDTV is a high definition signal, that is of a higher quality digital. The FCC changes are only to DIGITAL, NOT HDTV. So you can still go out there and but a regular new TV, and it doesn't HAVE to be an HDTV, it just has to be one that has a digital receiver built in, or you have to have a basic digital receiver box.
