A lot of this only applies to urban residents. If you are rural, reeeally
rural, theres a good chance it's a non-issue. We have two options for tv.
Satellite or antenna. Tha satellite is easy, there will be no noticable
change. The antenna access is a bit different. Turns out we're soooo
rural, antenna tv is available via a "translator" from a really small
specialized service with a transmitter up on one of the mountain peaks. Our
translator station may not be required to transmit in digital, so we may see
no change at all. Also, a lot of small rural stations, translator or not,
may be exempt and are not rquired to change to digital. You may want to
just wait and see.
