Article Abstract:

A digital TV turner or a digital-to-analog converter box would be necessary for consumers who rely on over-the-air broadcasts at a likely cost of $50 to $100 for every TV in the house. The Congress is of the opinion that television's digital transition should be delayed in any area where 85 percent of homes are not yet capable of receiving digital signals.
