Coming TV Change Won't Make your set Obsolete

Don't worry so much about the transition to digital television -- your current TV will still work if it is hooked up to cable or satellite. The only people who have to worry are those who A) get their TV over the air via a "rabbit ears" or rooftop antenna, and B) don't have a digital TV. For these households, there will be subsidies to buy analog-to-digital converter boxes.
