Digital TV coming is less than a year
For those of you that do not keep up with TV technology, your old analog TV's will become obsolete in less than a year.
The original date for transitioning to digital TV in the U.S. was back in 2006 but it got pushed out. February 17, 2009 is the new date and it is firm in concrete.
You will not need to get a new TV if you have a satellite or cable TV receiver box, but without one of those you will need a converter box.
Many stores have started selling these converter boxes. All they do is take a digital signal and convert it to an analog signal that your TV can received.
Unfortunately, it will not improve your picture quality.
If you already bought a HD TV then you already have the tuner necessary to get it off of the air for free with an external antenna. If you bought one of the older HD monitors it does not have a tuner in it and you will have to get one. A TV monitor is just that a display without a tuner.
Analog TV's days are numbered.
Let me know if you have any questions.
