Question

Whats going to happen? Is the phone going to opperate at like, all? Will Verizon give me a new phone considering i bought one for 500$ and the TV wont even work in 6 months?

Answer 1

Unless I don't fully follow your question, the unit receives VCast TV not all TV and VCast is already Digital. Check http://products.vzw.com/index.aspx?id=mo... (Verizon TV) for details.. you don't get the normal broadcast channels so it will keep on working.

Answer 2

What's going to happen is that the VHF TV channels will no longer be broadcast - only UHF TV frequencies will be left for TV.  HDTV signals are broadcast on UHF frequencies.

In your case, you are not receiving TV signals, you are receiving cell phone signals that are being converted into something your TV can recognize.  The cell phone signals will not change, therefore your service will not be affected when "everything goes digital".
