In January 2008, we can apply to the government for two coupons worth $40 each off of the price (about $60) of two converters which will allow you to continue to watch Over The Air (OTA) TV on the old analog sets. You don't have to buy a new TV. You also don't have to buy a "digital" antenna-there is no such thing-they're all antennas. Because the digital TV which is replacing the old analog OTA is mostly on UHF channels rather than VHF, you may find that your existing antenna isn't good enough and you may have to replace it. For those with satellite or cable, they are not effected.

Just buy a set top box and that will convert your analogue signal to digital - job done!
ps Your TV must have a scart socket in the back.

That's a great suggestion.
