End of Full-Power Analog Television Broadcasting

February 17, 2009 is the deadline for analog television broadcasting. If you have an older analog television, you will need a digital to analog converter box if you don't have cable or satellite. If you have cable or satellite TV, you should be OK.

I was confused about it at first until I looked it up because we have a couple of old televisions. I am not very technologically advanced when it comes to that (I can't record a movie to VHS or DVD to save my life) and terms like analog, digital, S-video, HDMI wall plate, VGA, etc. just confuse me. Since we have satellite television, we are good to go so this deadline doesn't affect us.
