On February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television
broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only
in digital format. �So if your new TV doesn't have a digital tuner you
will need a converter box to receive anything, even just plan over the air
broadcasts.- Hide quoted text -

if your on cable or satellite the end of analog will be a non issue
when it occurs and I seriously doubt it will be before 2015. the end
of analog was all about reselling the bandwidth to make the federal
deficit smaller.

with the iraq war costs the $$$ for bandwidth is a drop in the bucket.

incidently high def sets smaller than 30 inches will see little if any
picture quality change. only larger screens will really see a big
difference
