I am so confused and don't know what the hell is going on LOL. no more analog frequency after feb 2009 ok understood. Now to figure out if I have a digital tuner in my tv......, then I am trying to figure out if I have cable but not digital cable do I still need to get this box or do I have to upgrade to digital cable and pay an arm and leg?

Anyone up on this?

If you get your TV signal from a Cable, Satellite or Fiber-Optic service provider, you are NOT affected, even if you have an analog TV. If you currently receive analog cable service (with no set-top box) you can continue to do so for at least three years after 2/17/2009.

Thanks, I guess everyone knows about this and I am the last to know as usual LOL. I ordered a coupon for a box...just because I want to be covered :P

all i know is if that check from bush is true i am gettin me a new tv mine is like 15 years old and only has one cable thingy in the back

well make sure it has a digital tuner when you buy your new tv. I guess we all will be up on this in the next year! The main tv in my house is only a few years old and is a flat screen 35" so I am not running to buy another tv just to be able to view it. ggggrrrrrrrrrr. But heck the way they make tv's and appliances today, I will need a new one in a few years if not sooner anyhoots. I can remember my gram's dinosaur color tv set floor model in the early 70's. Hot dog! lol and the tv repair man would come and fix the tubes LOL.

LOL, I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY THE HECK THE GOVERNMENT WOULD CARE ABOUT WHAT KINDA OF TV WE WATCH?? ANALOG OR DIGITAL....hmmmmm, just a little weird considering there are soooo many more important things to worry about ya know??? lol

I guess the government cares because when we use the analog signal it somehow interferes with police/fire and emergency communications and frequencies and by going digital and using that signal the analog will be freed up for rescue personel.

Check this link out and it will answer everyones questions and you do not have to buy a new TV to get the digital signal.
