The government is requiring most broadcast television stations to switch from analog to all-digital signals by Feb. 17, 2009.
Here's a list of questions and answers, that most people have about the upcoming conversion.

Basic breakdown:
If you have Cable or satellite , your TV is okay/GTG. You don't need to buy a new one.
If you use only rabbit ears or an outside antenna, you will need a converter box.
Converter boxes cost between $50.00 and $70.00.
The govt. is giving out $40.00 gift cards for the boxes.
That's it in a nutshell. Hope it helps.
