Your analogue TV will NOT stop working next February.
It will work fine.
There will not be any broadcasts for its reciever to bombard the screen with.
Your picture will look like this:
If you get a DTV signal converter, your OTA TV viewing pleasure(s) will return.
Adequite signal strength is required with DTV. If your current OTA signals are weak or are weakened under certain weather conditions and you ever get a tiny amount of the above picture , then your DTV experience will mimic that of watching a dirty or scratched DVD.
Yes, the same artifacts, still pictures with loss of in between content and even (book reading time) no picture at all . (not even snow - just a black screen with possibly the words:"no signal")
Isn't progress wonderful ?
If you match a HDTV TV with that DTV signal you get a great picture (on a good day).
Even better, sometimes you get bars on the sides and top of the picture. Makes you realize why some are buying 72 inch televisions. :-)
