Is my husband nuts?

My husband has said that the tv we purchased within 1997 will not be able recieve a signal and not work within Feb . of 08 because all signals are going to be digital? We hold direct tv if that matters.


Answers:    He isn't nuts but he may be over-reacting a moment or two bit.

According to the FCC's website, broadcast stations will switch from broadcasting analog signals to digital signals on February 17th, 2009. Below is an excerpt from the FCC website regarding buying digital-analog converter boxes:

After February 17, 2009, you will know how to receive and view over-the-air digital programming beside an analog TV only by purchasing a digital-to-analog set-top converter box. Between January 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009, adjectives U.S. households will be able to request up to two coupons, worth $40 respectively, to be used toward the future purchase of eligible digital-to-analog converter boxes. Eligible converter boxes are for the conversion of over-the-air digital TV signals, and therefore are not intended for analog TVs connected to a remunerated provider such as cable or satellite TV service.
call direct tv & see if that will effect you
