DTV bill likely around August break

By Bill McConnell -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/4/2003 2:00:00 AM MT

Expect a digital-television bill from the House Energy and Commerce Committee shortly before Congress breaks for the month of August or soon after it returns in early September, panel chairman Billy Tauzin (R-La.) said Tuesday.

With committee ranking Democrat John Dingell of Michigan, Tauzin is working on legislation aimed at moving the digital-TV transition along.

The bill will deal with digital-TV-copying protections, broadcasters' cable-carriage rights, cable set-top-box requirements, TV stations' obligation to protect network picture quality and other issues.
