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?

Agreed! i believe that sometimes it takes a mandate to get it through peoples minds that technology is quickly improving and innovations are constantly taking place. Thats what had to happen to me. I stuck with analog until i HAD to buy an hdtv.i have to say, it is a good investment. In order for our economy to stay number one, and for our technology to stay competitive, sometimes we need to "force" change, in a technological sense.
