Well, I got this reply from the people at Direct TV and it looks as if those of us that are on sattelite are off the hook. Not sure if this applies to Dish TV and the others.



Thanks for writing us about the broadcast industry's digital conversion on 2009. I see you've been with DIRECTV since June 200, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued loyalty. Please allow me to assist you.

Your DIRECTV system will not be affected by the broadcast industry's conversion from an analog to digital format in 2009. Because DIRECTV already is 100% digital, you'll be able to continue using your existing DIRECTV equipment for years to come.

I hope you find this information helpful and thank you again for writing.
