On February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television

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.


You won't need a converter for cable if you just want the analog
channels.

Which won't exist after 2/17/2009. So you may "want the analog channels"
but there won't be any.


Not True. The law is just about terrestrial OTA and says nothing about
cable. In fact, I heard something about cable systems being REQUIRED
to provide analog service until at least 2012.
