[Electronics-talk] Digital TV

[Charlie Richardson]

Digital TV doesn't mean you have to subscribe to cable or satellite.  Here 
in Albany NY we get maybe 6 stations over the air and when all goes digital 
it will be those stations plus others they are calling free digital stations 
that you already find on cable such as CNN.
