In February of 2009, televisions receiving their signals from OTA (Over The Air) antennas will no longer find analog signals on their tuner. The stations they normally receive will, at that time or even shortly before that date, begin transmitting their signals only in digital. Televisions, VCRs, DVD recorders, etc without digital tuners will need a digital-to-analog converter box in order to "see" these digital signals.
That's all there is to the digital transition: it has nothing to do with HDTV aka High Definition Television. You can get High Definition signals from numerous sources right now -- there's no need to wait.
