ConsumerReports.org - How to survive the digital TV transition: "The impending switch to all-digital broadcast TV will be a step forward, but it could be bumpy for many
Over the next 18 months or so, you'll be hearing a lot about the digital TV transition. Here's what you need to know: On Feb. 17, 2009, broadcasters must shut down their analog systems and transmit only digital TV signals to comply with the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act.
While that sounds cataclysmic, the change will affect only the way free TV will be broadcast over the air, to a rooftop or indoor antenna. All TVs (no matter what type) connected to cable, satellite, or one of the new telephone company fiber-optic services should continue to function as they do now.
A TV connected to an antenna might or might not work after Feb. 17, 2009. That depends on the type of TV."
