Analog broadcast TV signals will stop in February 1999

Analog over-the-air TV broadcast will be dropped in a year and a half.

As I understand it, those with cable won't have to worry about it since their cable boxes already convert digital signals to analog. The rest of us will have to buy a converter, buy an HDTV, or do without.

We could probably do without in our house since we watch so little TV. However, we do like to watch the Olympics when they come up. And the in-laws like to watch the news when they visit.

And there's always the possibility that I'll get the 'wants' for a wide-screen TV.

Anyone else cableless?
