No.
By law, television stations must start broadcasting exclusively in digital next February and stop broadcasting in the analog format that most of us grew up watching. But just because they will broadcasting in digital does not mean that your TV won't work anymore. Even if you don't have a digital television, you should be fine.
If you get your TV from satellite and cable and have a set-top receiver/box, you are probably already OK. The provider is already providing your content digitally and/or is converting the signal on their end so you can view your favorite shows without interruption. If you don't have a receiver yet, call them to get one.
If you are currently using an off-air antenna attached to your television, you an get a converter box that will receive HDTV and other digital TV signals and send them to your TV in a format it can display. To help pay for the box, our federal government is offering each household up to $40 coupons. You can apply for a coupon up to March 31, 2000.
