Interesting.  

I got one of those $40 Home Depot special AC/DC TV, AM/FM, Weather radio units as an Xmas gift for my sailboat.   So I guess that means I won't be able to use the TV part after Feb. 17, 2009, Yes?  

Yup.

Anyone that has a battery powered portable TV they bought for recreation or for bad weather updates when the electric goes out will have a piece of junk, unless it has a built in digital tuner (highly unlikely.)

But NOAA weather radio will still be analog, right?

Yes I assume, until the boneheads in the federal govt. decide to mandate digital-only radio and render everyone's portable and car radios obsolete as well.

I'll sell someone my 40 buck voucher for a good burger.  [8D]
