News: DTV standards, HD bundles
June 27th, 2007DTV set-top boxes and other accessories may become easier to set up, thanks to enhanced on-screen controls. Two new digital TV receiver standards, introduced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), will add to the immense joy of the 2009 DTV transition. (Or at least dull some of the pain.)
Discounts on HDTVs will be available to consumers who sign up for HD digital cable packages, under a promotion involving major cable companies and a television manufacturer. (Another option: Pay for your new HDTV without any help from Comcast—but get your HD programming for free, over the air.)
