When the FCC yelled at Sears

I found a link to the letter from the FCC's Dallas office to Sears that followed the store's failure to warn consumers about TV's that would soon become useless piles of metal thanks to the mandatory switch to digital:

Sears was later fined because it didn't heed this warning.

But the retail chain didn't learn from the fine either. If it did, it wouldn't have claimed the Sylvania I buyed there (which is one of the models listed in the letter) could receive digital.

Some people just never learn, do they?

I bet the woman who bubbled in the Sears commersh in the '90s would be mad if this happened to her!
