		All of these early TV systems shared the same aspect ratio of 4:3 which was chosen to match the Academy Ratio used in cinema films at the time.

	deseretnews.com \| The FCC sets deadline for digital TV sets \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		While digital TV — also known as HDTV — offers a sharper picture and better sound than today's analog television, only a tiny fraction of Americans are using digital TV sets.
		(TV broadcasters say the actual additional cost would be $15.) TV makers also argue that the FCC requirement is unnecessary because most digital-television owners get their digital signals from cable or satellite providers and thus have no need for a separate digital tuner for over-the-air transmissions inside their sets.
		Another TV maker, France's Thomson Multimedia SA, in a recent filing with the FCC asked only that the deadline be extended until 2007 or 2008.

		While an antique TV set or radio is often a piece of furniture, it has its own special liabilities.

	Money for Nothing - The FCC is forcing you to buy digital TV tuners that may not even work. By Thomas Hazlett
		By 2007, every TV set larger than 13 inches must include the device, which today costs upward of $500 and is used to receive digital TV signals over the air.
		In just over four years, traditional analog TV broadcasts are scheduled to go dark with new digital feeds taking their place.
		This legislation, mandating that TV sets sold after Jan. 1, 1964, be equipped with an 82-channel tuner, "made UHF broadcasting a viable business," a trade journal dutifully reported following the FCC's digital tuner mandate.

		He started bringing home the TV sets last fall, whenever he would spot one discarded and forlorn on a curb.

		He also likes how they're the old-fashioned sets, "not the fancy schmantzy" plasma and LCD screens, but the kind of TVs he grew up with, with knobs instead of a remote for changing channels.

		CEA and CERC had claimed that the July 1 50% requirement for 25-36 inch TV sets was not feasible because retailers were continuing to order far more traditional analog-only TVs than analog-plus-digital-tuner sets, which cost more.
		And since the industry had said 100% compliance was possible by March 1, the commission adopted that date as the new final deadline for all midsize sets.
		Moreover, accelerating the deadline for small TV sets to contain digital tuners "would sharply raise prices on smaller sets, harming low-income consumers," the statement said.

	Microsoft eyes digital-TV sets - Sep. 5, 2000
		NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Microsoft Corp. is set to announce that the next version of its Windows operating system will also be able to power digital TV sets, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
		The Redmond, Wash.-based software company plans to fold its software for digital television set-top boxes -- dubbed Microsoft TV - into the successor to the operating system Windows 2000, dubbed Whistler, which is due to hit store shelves next year, the newspaper said.
		Microsoft reportedly hopes to convince broadcasters to use its digital-TV technology because it will offer consumers the ability to power both their television sets and PCs with a single device; that would eliminate the requisite separate set-top box needed for decoding digital television signals, the Journal noted.
