2012-10-10: Ulsan resident Kim Min-yong is not an avid television watcher, but he was surprised to find his analog TV not working when he turned it on two months ago.
“All it showed on the screen were black and white lines and I couldn’t get it to work although I tried struggling with the antenna and the remote control,” he said.
This is what is most likely to happen to those who fail to follow the government’s announcement that it will cease analog TV signals and make the transition to digital broadcasts.
Ulsan was the first region on Aug. 16 to make the analog-to-digital broadcast transition. Other areas like North Chungcheong Province, South Gyeongsang Province and Busan ended their analog broadcasts soon after, with the country set to complete the digital broadcast transition by the end of this year.
