Millions of American families ordsprog

Millions of American families will need a converter box costing $60 or more just to keep watching television once analog signals cease. House Republicans, to protect their tax cuts, would force millions of Americans to reach into their wallets and pay a television tax of $20 to $60 per TV set. Why should ordinary people pay for a government decision that makes their television sets obsolete?

Why should ordinary people pay for a government decision that makes their television sets obsolete?

This is the first year where digital television will surpass the sales of analog television sets. Sixty-two percent of all televisions sold this year will be some form of digital television, and will account for 48.2 million sets shipped.

American consumers now have more ways to receive video programming than ever. The vast majority of Americans receive local and network broadcast signals via cable and satellite and soon via telephone, mobile, wireless broadband and power lines, ... CEA research shows that currently only 32.7 million of the 285 million television sets in the U.S. are used to view over-the-air television programming.

So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.

Barbara Ehrenreich (1941-)

Consumers weren't adopting a technology that the government thought they should be adopting quickly, so government stepped in and said, you're going to adopt, and we're going to force you to adopt by basically making your television sets go blank if you don't either buy a digital TV or buy a converter box.

With television you may reach a mass of consumers, but people switch channels so often it is hard to tell who is actually watching. The cost of investing in the game is much cheaper than a television ad - especially during the World Cup - and it has other unique advantages.

That makes entertaining television. That is the circus of American Idol . We go for the very, very best and the very, very worst. It's the boring people that we don't want to see on television.

As everyone knows, with thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of people displaced, we could not as a television show or as a building company ever address all the loss, so it's fitting that we target specifics, that reach out to many people, and that's why we're here right now.

Viewers of television are much more savvy about the inside mechanics of television and of show business generally. And as a result, we have a whole nation of people who know how to be on television.

James Poniewozik

It's less about watching television in the years to come than it is about consuming video. The days when people are dependent upon a television schedule or programmer are effectively over.

There will be quite a bit of choice when it comes to watching television and unlike yesterday where customers chose one company to order television from, tomorrow they may choose multiple providers based on the offers. New technologies, and new ways of delivering television shows, like over the net opens up whole new ways to compete and offer services. We are way too early to predict a winner as the industry expands and changes. This is the fun part of watching all the ideas bubble up and find their way, or not.

Jeff Kagan (1968-)

Viewers can be both entertained and educated by stories on television that reflect the diversity of families and communities across this country. Images on television and in film have the power to help Americans embrace their lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender family members, friends and neighbors with understanding and acceptance. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy.

If you wanted to target the people actually in need, and assume for the sake of argument that there's a need for television, that it's a basic necessity, if you looked only at the people who don't have cable or satellite today, and looked only at the first television in the household, and not the third or the fourth, and looked at only those people who cannot afford a converter box of their own, you would be looking at a few hundred million dollars, certainly less than $500 million. That's a much, much smaller number than we have on the table now.
