THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) late Tuesday unanimously adopted rules designed to prevent analog-only cable subscribers from losing their local TV stations' signals for three years after the switch to digital TV occurs February 17th, 2009.
The FCC estimates some 40 million TV homes, approximately 35 percent of the country's TV universe, are analog-only cable subscribers.

Required by law to make local broadcasters' primary signals viewable by all their subscribers, cable operators will be able to choose to either transmit the digital signal in analog format or assure that all subscribers have the equipment necessary to view the digital signal.
