Check out this "simple" explanation:
From my understanding, NTSC is on its way out and ATSC is the newer technology. If you buy a TV that has ONLY an NTSC tuner, after 2009 you will have to buy a digital box to convert the signal to ATSC.
Actually, for the majority of people, this is not true.
ATSC signal is almost exclusively used for over-the-air TV (antennas). The vast majority of cable systems use some variant of QAM, which allows them to most signals around to different channels whenever they need to.
Each of the satellite companies uses their own style of encryption.
So, if you have a box for cable or sat, then the 2009 date means nothing for you. Even the 2011 date is the cable company's problem, not yours.
The only subscribers to cable who have to worry are those who plug their cable right into their TV w/o a box. Now, the HDTVs are supposed to have a feature where the cable company gives you a CableCard to plug into your TV and authorize it. However, the cable companies have had a horrid record of offering and supporting the CableCards.
If you want to go without a box, make sure your TV has a QAM tuner built-in. But, be warned that some cable systems randomize the assignments of QAM channels every few days (basically to inconvenience people who are stealing cable).
The ATSC tuner is not a cure-all for anyone except the folks using an antenna.
BTW, the federal government is going to be offering coupons for ATSC tuner boxes (http://www.dtvtransi...d=31&Itemid=44).

You know WM is going to have the 32" LCD TV's for around $400...they gotta keep up with other stores on BF. I've seen a few BF ads already that have the 32" LCD TV's priced to sell for between $400-$450. But WM really needs to step it up have some good deals and some good doorbusters this year. I go to WM at 5am and Target at 6am but if WM doesnt have anything good this year then that means one more hour of sleep for me

Trust me...wm doesn't have nothing special...but you didn't hear that from me.

I think the ad is worse then any of the other ads... no matter what your looking for. I would hit Best Buy, Target, Kohls, you name it before them. It does not seem like they put much thought into there ad. I can see why they don't want it leaked... its a joke of ad PERSONALLY

I was told plasma tv's are not for those who live above 7000', due to the gas expanding. i live a little too close to that, so I am going for lcd.
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!
