    FCC Slaps Retailers With Millions In DTV Fines

    DTV tuner mandate and two NALs for alleged violations of the V-Chip mandate.
    Those named in the order will have 30 days to respond to the FCC.
    For labeling violations, seven retail chains were slapped with NALs totaling $3.9 million. This was for failing to post labels on analog televisions warning consumers that the sets did not include a digital tuner and would not receive over-the-air broadcasts after Feb. 17, 2009, the FCC said.
    Those chains included the following:
    * Sears, Roebuck, K-Mart, $1,096,000;
    * Wal-Mart Stores/Sam's West; $992,000.
    * Circuit City Stores, $712,000;
    * Fry's Electronics, $384,000;
    * Target, $296,000
    * Best Buy, $280,000
    * CompUSA, $168,000
