HDTV: Taking a step forward

TV is no longer what it used to be. Digital programming has taken over and the government has required that all television sets have digital tuners. According to class lecture, the FCC DTV Tuner Mandate requires that all television sets sold in the United States from here on out must have a digital tuner which ultimately makes the television set HD ready. As a communication major I know that our field is in a constant state of flux, it excites me to know that our government has taken notice to the technological advances in our field of study. Also, the mandate has acted as a motivating factor for consumers. It's helped give our economy the jump start it desperately needs. It's helped in more ways than one, what's not to like?
