I'm not sure of the date, but sometime about then, the broadcasters are supposed to only be transmitting in HD. Either you will have to have an HDTV, or a box that receives the HD signal and converts it to the analog signal our tv's currently use.
With the casual viewing I do, I'm not impressed with the advantages of HD over a large screen analog tv or a projector (both of which we have). Most of the programming does not improve just because it's transmitted in HD. I must say that I've seen a lot of HDTVs being returned at Costco, but that may be due to high prices and low availability of HD programming.
