The thing is that the dish service is not affected by the transition. But, you have an antenna connected as well to the box. So, that one is affected. you will have to make a choice. To stop using the antenna or to get a converter box for that one to be able to use it after the transition. My guess is that you are viewing some local channels with your antenna, check if they are going to broadcast in digital before you get a converter box. Some small stations wont continue in digital but in analog, in that case you don't need any converter box.. I know this sounds complex but that is the way it is. The Dish people should know this ...

I would recommend two things to do. First, check with your local station of they have started to broadcast in digital allready. Many stations has started, that means you don´t have to wait until Feb 09 for digital TV. If Yes, you have to buy a converter box (on shelfs in February) or a TV with a built in digital tuner. The best way to know of your antenna is sufficient enough to receive digital signals is to try it out. If you dont get a good picture they antenna might be the problem. Also check the cable to the antenna. If they are old and worn, they will decrease the strength of the signal from the antenna to your TV. Best / Anders Hi, thank you for reading this blog.
