Everyone has heard that analog television signals are going to end in February of 2009, in order to even watch local channels unless you do one of several things you will be without television. The first thing would be to purchase the converter box that is being talked about, the second thing is if you have a television with a digital tuner you can still receive the new digital signals that will be transmitted. The third thing that you can to is go with a cable or satellite TV provider.
What you need to know is what type of television you have, is it a standard television that receives analog signals or is it a television with a digital tuner.
Ways to tell if have a digital tuner:
If the television was purchased prior to 1998 it is most likely a standard television.
While it varies there were many of the television models that have been sold from the year 2004 that have digital tuners. Although this is not a hard and fast rule, it does depend on the model.
