Why are we getting rid of regular tv antennas?
Answers: No one is getting rid of regular TV antennas!
No one is getting rid of free over the atmosphere TV either!
Except for tiny TVs that don't hold a way to connect an external antenna, hoary TVs will work just fine near the addition of a cheap converter box!
The US is shifting to an all digital free TV broadcast system, but this uses like peas in a pod antennas as the old free analog TV system. Digital TV signals can be cheaply converted to analog ones that elder TVs can understand.
The political affairs is doing this because it was inevitable; this correct has be in the works for over 10 years. Digital TV replaces a system base on 1930s technology; it allows for TVs to be built that offer much difficult resolutions and frees up radio frequencies that can be used for other wireless services.
Most of the world is going through this same transition to digital TV.
The digital TV standard uses a different (and smaller) bandwidth of the electromagnetic spectrum. The FCC wants to reclaim this bandwidth currently used by analog TV signals and use it for something else. Probably some sensitive of Wide Area Network or something.
