Abstract
This document modifies the rules to advance the date on which new television receivers with certain screen sizes and other TV receiving devices such as VCRs and digital video recorders, must include the capability to receive digital television signals forward four months. This action is intended to further the Commission's efforts to ensure that consumers are able to receive off-the-air digital broadcast television services as soon as possible.
