As most of us have heard by now on February 17, 2009 all full power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional channels.
So where does that leave you? If you have a digital TV converter box or a TV with a built in digital (ATSC) tuner you’re on easy street. If you have neither you’re TV won’t do you much good unless you hook up a VCR, DVD player or satellite receiver. While most of us are a bit upset about the conversion there is a bright side to all this. We will get better picture quality because it takes less power to send a digital signal than it does to send an analog signal and we have a much better chance of getting reception in more remote areas.
Still not smiling? This is the perfect excuse to splurge on a brand new TV! All of our 12 volt TV’s have built in digital tuners and most have a built in DVD player too. Intended for use in your truck or RV these low power consumption televisions are lightweight and offer great picture quality.
On average our LCD flat panel 12 volt televisions draw around 5 amps of 12 volt power. Most can also be powered up using 110V A/C. All necessary power cords and instructions are included. Like everything else, they are brand new, brand name and also carry the one year manufacturers warranty.
