Your other options are purchasing a new TV or subscribing to a cable or satellite TV system. If you have an older TV and receive your programs over the air, then you will need to purchase a digital-to-analog converter box and connect it to your TV. Also, even if you do receive broadcast TV over the air, this transition will not affect you if your TV is relatively new and has a built-in digital receiver. This transition will affect only people who use antennas, such as "rabbit ears," to receive broadcast TV over the air.
The first thing that you need to know about all this is that if you have a TV connected to a cable, satellite, or other pay TV service, you have nothing to worry about, and you do not have to do anything to continue watching TV as you have been. This mandate has led to a great deal of fear and confusion across the country, and in this article I try to clear up much of the confusion. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandated that all full-power television stations in the United States stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting at midnight on February 17, 2009.
