Effective February 17, 2009, all television broadcasts must be transmitted digitally. Any television that can only receive an analog signal will no longer work, unless they obtain a digital to analog converter box (about $40 to $70), or use a paid TV service (cable or satellite). Anyone connected to Comcast will not have to worry about this problem. This conversion was ordered by Congress, and TV's purchased today should be digital but you must confirm it.
Between now and March 31, 2009, all US households will be eligible to request up to two coupons, worth $40 each to be used toward the purchase of the converter box. For more information, visit the NTIA website at http://www.dtv2009.gov/.
