| digital television transition Not everyone has up to date tv's that will be compatible for the 2009 transition. The Goverment is giving $40 coupons to go towards the purchase of the converter box. Here's the website & info. https://www.dtv2009.gov/AboutProgram.aspx DTV Transition and the Coupon Program What is the digital television transition? At midnight on February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises to provide a clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders. What is the TV Converter Box Coupon Program? Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes. A TV connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program. Consumers have a variety of options. Options to explore include:[LIST=1][*]Keep your existing analog TV and purchase a TV converter box. A converter box plugs into your TV and will keep it working after Feb. 17, 2009, or[*]Connect to cable, satellite or other pay service, or[*]Purchase a television with a digital tuner.[/LIST]Have more questions?

| I have got to figure out what I am going to do. I have never had cable, etc - and there is nothing wrong with my TV at the moment - although it is probably 15 yrs old. I just don't know what to do - good thing I have more than half a yr left to decide

You do not need to replace your tv. All you need to get is the tuner box.

-- I just don't want to waste my money they worst thing is I have a little B & W that I mainly have on when cooking, etc - just to listen to - and I hate to buy a box for it. I guess I need to find out if you will even be able to hear anything on the tv without the box - or if there will be absolutely no signal - I also have a handle held little tv that I have only had for about 3 yrs - I love it. I hate that this thing that I spend $200 on will no longer work too
