There has been a lot of talk about the end of analog television, and the transition to all digital transmission on February 17, 2009. Are you ready? Will you still be able to watch television after this date?
In short, if you currently receive your television via a cable company or satellite TV provider, this will have absolutely no effect on you. Your television is already receiving digital signal, and you will see no change at all in how you receive your transmissions.
For people who are still receiving their television over the air via antennas, then you will be effected by this change over. You will need to either have a digital television, or you will need to purchase a digital-to-analog convertor to be able to play the signal on your TV. The Federal Communicatiosn Council has set up a website dedicated to helping you make sure that you are ready for the change. You can visit it at DTV.gov, but it is a fairly simple process to prepare for the change, and it only sounds scarier than it really is.
