By February of 2009 analog TV sets can NO longer receive signal. That means we either have to buy a new TV sets, or subscribe to cable or buy a box converter.
Change is a good thing, but you think this is a good one?

It's inconvenient, but it's probably time. Will it also make more frequencies available?
By the way, for those of you who are wondering, this is another US thing. Perhaps some of you have already experienced this transition in your country? -
I would think Canada would be doing the same thing as we share so much on that front. I guess that means my old TV from 1995 is trash in a year?
And Yes - I heard the idea was the cell and telecommunications companies will be competing for the newly opened frqeuencies...-
Not necessarily the trash. There will be converter boxes. The US is also supposedly offering help to some families for this transition, though I have seen no practical tips on how they might finance the conversion box.

We can still use our old TV's but we have to have a box converter. Me and my husband have this old analog TV and we don't have cable. ( can't afford
) . I just signed up for a coupon , but I am not sure when can I receive it. -
Can you please tell me how you signed up for a coupon?

It'll be rough at first, but end up being a good thing. Now I won't have to buy widescreen movies. They'll all be widescreen. -
You can call their 24 hour hotline @ 1-888-388-2009 or you can go to www.dtv2009.gov.

Thank you. I better get on that. Might take a while.

Your're welcome .And I think you should sign up before they run out. The news said that the box will be available at the store next week.
