The Downside of Switching to a Digital TV Signal
The digital age is upon us, and whether you're on board or not, the old-timey analog TV signal will be switched off on Feb. 17, 2009.

Nonetheless, I can't deny how crisp and clear the picture is on a high-quality screen—whether you're watching football, ballet or American Idol.
HDTV Sales Are Revving Up, Thanks to the Super Bowl

How to Look HDTV-Ready, Even if You're Off-Camera
High-definition television won't be standard until 2009, but actors are already nervous about what it may reveal. Because HDTV provides a clearer picture, you'll see more detail—including the pimples, wrinkles and scars that normally don't show up on television. Unsurprisingly, stars aren't looking forward to having their every pore blown up for the world to see.
