If you already have cable or satellite, you needn’t worry when the analog tv signals get cut off. If you’re sporting rabbit ears (as I am at the moment), you’ll have to get a new tv or some sort of converter. “As of July 1, 2005… TV manufacturers are required to put digital tuners in all the large and half the mid-sized analog TV sets they make. But whether retailers will tell you which analog sets also have digital tuners as they hit the shelves this summer is another story.” Bonus: “The federal government wants to auction off the current analog spectrum for billions of dollars, most likely to wireless companies who will use it to provide advanced wireless services.”
