(From The USA Today -- By David Lieberman)
The sense of panic that's suffocating much of the nation's economy is creeping into what was supposed to be one of this shopping season's cheeriest places -- stores that sell digital televisions and accessories.
Consumer electronics manufacturers, retailers, Hollywood studios and satellite and cable companies bet big that this would be a high-def Christmas.
They thought that consumers would load up on large-screen HDTVs, Blu-ray players and discs, and HD channels in the last shopping season before February 17th, the date when the federal government will require local broadcasters to stop transmitting analog signals and just offer digital.
Yet their HD dreams could be dashed by an economy that has millions of consumers simultaneously fearful for their livelihoods and unable to get credit.
Will Consumers Have A Blue-Ray Christmas On An HDTV?
