Will Canadians still be able to watch American TV after February 17th 2009?

Question

I read that the U.S will be switching all TV broadcasting from analog to digital on 02/17/09. What will that mean for Canadians? will we still be able to watch American Television as normal ? Or will we have to purchase a digital receiver?

Answer 1

If you're watching via cable or satellite, then you're fine.  Everything will still work.  If you are picking up the signal using an antenna, then you'll need to have a digital tv/receiver.

Answer 2

t.v ehh? follow the only road?
