Answer 1

You may be able to get a converter.  Here in the US that is an option.  Our local news channels are the ones that are facilitating that - maybe your's too?  Otherwise you will be sol.

The whole world is going digital in the near future, here in the UK and in some other countries you can buy a Freeview box, it gives you 30 channels for a one off payment of about $60.

Is there nothing planned like that over there?
