In just over a year TV stations will stop broadcasting analog signals over the airways and switch over to digital signals. This means that many older TVs will be obsolete and consumers must either buy a digital set-top converter box or a brand new TV in order to get over the airways reception. Some companies, like SONY, are stepping up and taking responsibility for their old TVs by implementing responsible recycling programs. But most companies are not following suit and Panasonic, Philips, and Sharp are the worst offenders. Not only have these companies NOT established take back programs, but they actively lobby against state legislation that would require them to do so, and have been slackers when it comes to substituting environmentally responsible materials in their products.
