From that report: "Interactive television will not require the purchase of new systems. Existing TVs will simply require set-top boxes that will receive the digital signals from broadcasters or from the Internet and translate them to analog signals." The author is telling us that the digital set-top box will allow me to access the web site to buy the sweater from Gap worn by one of the stars on the television show, even though I'm still using my old analog television. Is that really true? --Mike Buckley
