We’re not asking whether you get the chills watching reality shows about people eating worms.

On February 17, 2009, all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital.

Will you need to convert? Do you need information about this?

The Federal Communications Commission has a page on this subject at http://www.dtv.gov/. Another government site,  https://www.dtv2009.gov/, provides information about how to obtain a converter box.
