if you already have an antenna with UHF on it then its likely it will work fine for the digital signals as well.

sometimes you have to ram new and better technology down the throats of the people.seriously though, this isnt new. i learned about it coming in about 2004, and its a big part of the reason we were saving up for a new tv in the first place.
and if you want someone to blame, its the FCC.

It'* actually not about making you upgrade so you have better technology. The government is shutting down the analog frequencies so that they can be used for other purposes.
The converter/tuner box is a one-time purchase, not a service.
