Thought this was rather interesting. According to this schedule...over the air broadcast will no longer work! Couple of years away...but will be very interesting.
QuoteNever fear, analog is still here! According to fcc.gov: Until February 17, 2009, most television stations will continue broadcasting on both their digital and analog channels.
Here is the current timetable for the switchover to digital television:
July 1, 2006: All new sets, 25 inches or larger, must have DTV tuners or be DTV-ready
March 1, 2007: All new sets, 13 inches or larger, must have DTV tuners or be DTV-ready
February 17, 2009: Proposed shutoff date for over-the-air analog broadcasts
