On Feb 18, US viewers with analog TVs will no longer receive free over-the-air programming. In other words, if you've got an older TV with rabbit ear antennas, you'll be at a loss. Here are your options:
  • Buy a Digital TV: An ATSC enabled digital TV with an antenna will deliver over-the-air shows. Approx. Cost: $120+
  • Buy a Digital Converter: Visit dtv2009.org for a list of retailers. You need one converter per TV. Approx. Cost: $40-70
  • 3.Watch on your Computer: NBC.com, ABC.com and Hulu.com provide shows legally over the internet. Programs are limited. Cost: Free
