The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined seven retail chains for selling analogue TV sets without telling their customers there are not able to receive digital broadcasts. They include Wal-Mart, Sears, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and others.The retailers were fined a total of $6 million.
As part of the analogue switch-over policy, the FCC had ordered retailers and manufacturers to tell their customers analogue sets will not be able to receive any TV signals after the February 19, 2009 switch-off of all analogue broadcasts.
