Re: A new TV??

It will absolutely work. Your TV will still be able to get any analog channels on cable. Analog Channels will be available on cable tv for many years. Over the air broadcasts should end in 2006.

The FCC is only mandating that digital tuners be added to TVs. That doesn't mean they won't have analog capability.

That's an interesting definition of "will absolutely work"!

It is up to the Cable company for that.

Yes, especially since the life of a typical TV is about ten years and there will not be a complete conversion from analog content in less than five.....he doesn't have anything to worry about.

The point is- IT WILL ABSOLUTELY WORK regardless of these regulations.

By the time it becomes an issue for his TV, he is going to want to HDTV anyway.
