Why do we need to switch to DTV??????????

Question

Hello, why do people need to switch to DTV. I know tv goes digital, but why?????

Answer 1

It is because it is senseless to run analog signals across the country because they are not very good signals and they have to maintain the old towers and if you go digital they do it by satellites and stuff and has a much better and farther traveling signal.

And yes, if you have Dish Network, Cable One, Direct TV, or anything that shows a guide on the screen if you hit the guide button or if you already have a digital box for your TV then you won't have to worry.

Answer 2

Not everyone has to switch. Many subscribers to cable and satellite won't have to.

This is what I've read about why analog TV is going away. The channels that used to be for analog TV have been promised to emergency services like the fire department and stuff, because the channels they have for their radios are getting crowded.
