So, if I understand what you are saying, Rich is that many, if not most local TV stations are dual broadcasting both digital and analog, and that the analog will go away 2/17/09, but you will still be able to use you antenna for local "digital" broadcasts, IF you have a digital converter box? Someone mentioned to me that there is a difference between Digital and HDTV... that you can receive digital without getting HDTV. Does that sound right?

And then how are going to find room for the extra box or equipment will we need for our 2 Montana TVs, if you are not going to be hooked to sat or cable? They are not "digital ready" are they? Sorry for all the questions... it is confusing. I have a feeling there are some in Washington that are confused also. Maybe I'll just watch DVDs...
