The Digital Television Transition: What You Need to KnowBy borges, Section The Marketplace
On February 17, 2009, all TV stations will begin broadcasting exclusively in digital signals. If you have an older analog TV and you receive over-the-air television, your TV will not show pictures, unless you retrofit it with a digital converter box.
