I admit that I haven't studied the specifics of the switch all that much. Since I've had cable TV for close to 30 years now and can't see myself ever going back to an antenna, I overlooked that part of the equation. :) @96 dan,

It's happening in Europe too so it must have been someone powerful. Shouldn't be hard to guess what he sells for a living Nothing but a perfect signal works proper.

Most of the TV antennas out there, unless they were purchased and can pick up high frequencies (I have an antenna from radio shack on my roof that can pick up signals from 10mhz all the way up to 2.5ghz now for the rest of you that means ALL radio-TV-most of the Ham bands-celluar as well as the newer trunk tracking frequencies and even some of the spread spectrum frequencies. Total cost of the antenna was less then $35. when I bought it four years ago) then the old antenna they have just will not be able to pick up the new HD digital broadcasts. Even the FCC says that there is better then a 70-30 chance you will need a new "over the air" antenna You said the old equipment would not work without an adapter...so what makes you think that an old antenna will work without one...if at all? The old antennas are set for the frequencies that will no longer be used. @7 and @95, ok guys...show me where welfare and school lunch programs were cut. Even nancy pelosi and harry reed have stated on the House and Senate floors that the programs you mentioned had increases in the budget, just not as large as these two wanted. Sorta like the health insurance for the kids that they were making a major fuss about a few months back. Illegals would have got this (they dont ask your residency in California and California has the largest illegal population in the country) A couple states wanted to make this available for people making as much as $60,000.00 a year even after pelosi and reed said this would not happen thus making them out to be liars. They were offered to increase this to $35,000.00 top scale, and they refused. Same here with your little myth. The budget for these was increased according to the US Budget Office, just not as much as the Democrats wanted, thus giving them the ability to say it was cut. Now I am no math expert, but if I increased a line item by say $2.00 and you wanted $4.00, if you called it a cut then you would be lying as it was increased, just not as much as you wanted it to be.

Truth hurt or are you one of the idiots that has spewing false info and are now upset that you got called to the carpet for it? Over 98% of the posts here are by little people who are trying to make themselves sound more intelligent then they really are. All it took was a simple search with Google and less then 15 minutes of my time to disprove 98% of the posts here. Sorta makes you wonder why they bothered if they did not know what they were talking about in the first place. Dan needs anger management

Congratulations, snob. You win the Total A$$ of the Day award. Jerks like you probably also feel that if someone can't afford groceries, they should just stop eating. Your (lack of) humanity and compassion for those less fortunate than you is underwhelming to say the least. @#6 TheFilmTard– “seriously if you can’t afford an HDTV you should not be watching TV anyways… you should pick up more hours at work or get a second job…”

My 2001 HDTV has a digital (ATSC) tuner and I get about 30 channels, over the air, digitally, with rabbit ears. Some are HD, some are SD, but all are digital and crystal clear. (it also has ntsc tuner but I dont watch those channels anymore cuz there's digital equivilents, go to antennaweb.org to check your area). You dont need a special antenna, all of my channels are UHF and one is VHF. They're just taking back some of the upper UHF channels, something like channels 50-69 or something... So if you have an analog (NTSC) tuner only, and watch tv over the air, then you'll need this box, you plug your antenna into it, and then hook it up to your tv. Go read wikipedia or something.
