In February 2009, the way that traditional television stations have broadcast their signal will change from analog to digital. Paid television subscribers, like those with cable tv, will not be impacted by this change. Rabbit ear users who pick up television signal through the air will be impacted.
The following quick start guide will tell you what you need to do if you or someone that you know, like your grandmother, as in my case, is impacted by this.

What about the Rabbit Ears? = You will need to connect an antenna to your converter to pick up the digital signal. Depending upon your location your current rabbit ears may work. More on antenna’s here.
What happened to the analog signal / Airwaves ? = This signal travels over a slice of air known as the 700Mhz spectrum. Starting on 1/24/2008 and as of the time of this post, this slice of air is being auctioned off.
It appears that New’s Corp is talking to Yahoo about some type of partnership. I completely expected this type of interest from other media companies and I think we may see others step up before this over. Some analyst feel that Microsoft still has the best offer on the table at this time.
According to the WSJ, Yahoo is planning to reject Microsofts current buyout offer, stating that its undervalues the stocks value.
Yahoo directors concluded after a meeting Friday that the unsolicited offer — worth nearly $45 billion when it was announced on Jan. 31 — “massively undervalues” Yahoo, according to a person familiar with the situation. The board plans to send a letter to Microsoft today, spelling out its position.
Considering Microsofts offer is $31 a share or 44.6 Billion dollars, a 62% premium over the Yahoo stock price at the time the offer was made, im not sure how much leverage Yahoo has to bargain with. Im also not sure if another company would be willing to match or beat that offer.
It appears Yahoo’s shareholders are just fishing for a maximum market value.
Google is basically saying that the Microsoft could cripple the creative, innovative, openness of the Internet if it gets control of Yahoo. Yahoo currently owns and operates the second largest search engine in the World.
