Could 2009 be the year your old TV won’t work?

Congress is zeroing in on early 2009 as the time for the country to make the switch to digital television broadcasts, a move that will give viewers sharper pictures and better sound.
A Senate bill would set a firm deadline of April 2009, according to a draft proposal obtained Friday by The Associated Press. The draft of a House bill would end analog transmissions on Dec. 31, 2008.
So you have three years to upgrade your television. Knowing me, I’ll be looking for a new TV on January 1, 2009.
