They have to carry a warning label that says they won't be able to
work after the cutover to digital. There have been a number of
retailers getting fined for the same thing, selling TVs that won't
work after the cutover without a warning label. I imagine they carry
no such warning, hence the fine.

Of course they'll work with cable for awhile yet, but who knows.
