TV Truth Act of 2005

The TV Truth Act of 2005 was designed to inform consumers about the nationwide transition from analog to digital television broadcasting. The bill would have required manufacturers and retailers to place clear warning labels in both English and Spanish on all analog televisions, explaining that these devices would require additional equipment to receive signals after the transition date. By requiring these disclosures on the screens and at retail displays, the legislation aimed to ensure that citizens did not unknowingly purchase outdated technology that would soon require a converter box to function.
