Summary

As part of the move to digital TV, scheduled for Feb 2009, the FCC has officially notified U.S. television broadcasters that the standard for transmitting TV over-the-air will change from analog to digital.
This means every conventional TV with an antenna will become obsolete, unless it is connected to a digital tuner. After the changeover to digital transmission, TVs will be unable to receive terrestrial analog RF TV broadcasts unless connected to a set-top box or other device that contains a digital tuner.
However, the majority of TV watchers will not be affected, because 80% of television viewers use cable or satellite television and virtually all satellite users and an increasing number of cable users already use set top boxes to view programming. Many of these set top boxes can receive digital transmissions.
