But I do not wait anytime longer for HDTV. All sizes of tv from the portables one from casios to the sumo size 100" LCDs I want to buy should all included digital receivers digital.

U.S. communications regulators on Thursday agreed to move up to March 1, 2006, the deadline requiring television makers to ensure all mid-size sets they sell in the United States can receive digital signals.

As part of an effort to speed the transition to digital television, the Consumer Electronics Association had asked the Federal Communications Commission to move up the July 1, 2006, deadline for all sets made with screens 25 inches to 35 inches to be able to receive the new, higher-quality signals.

However, the FCC rejected another request by the association to eliminate a July 1, 2005, deadline for the manufacturers to ensure half of those sets with the mid-size screens are capable of receiving digital.
