Heads up, US TV programming will only broadcast in digital format starting Feb. 18, 2009. If you subscribe to cable, there won’t be a problem even if you have an analog TV. However, if your analog TV receives programming with over-the-air-antenna, you will stop getting a signal. To fix the problem, you can get a converter box for $50-$70 at most major retail electronics store. To ease the pain, you can get a $40 coupon towards the purchase. To request a coupon, consumers can apply online at www.dtv2009.gov starting Feb 19, 2008. The government also has set up a 24-hour hotline to take requests, 1-888-DTV-2009 (1-888-388-2009).
