when all TV channels have to emit in an HD signal in 2009. Although that can be bypassed by buying an analog converter, HD penetration will increase as a result of the change.

 

It is DIGITAL that needs to be broadcast, not HD, and an Analog converter will not help, as no analog signal will be there to convert.

 

 Actually there is a converter you can buy for when the signal become digital to put it on a standard TV as we have today.

Yes, and those are in use RIGHT NOW, HOWEVER, this is not an ANALOG converter, as ANALOG signals will be shut off, and there will be nothing to convert.

We will be using Digital Set top Boxes.
