One TV is analog, the main one is HD, but doesn't have an internal converter (we use a rocking Samsung HD converter).


The analog spectrum was very wasteful (as far as info available). The digital spectrum is MUCH more efficient, which opens lots of bands for emergency information and new informations technology. They're also going to be putting more specialized stuff over the air (there's already all news and all weather and all music, but they could add education, internet, Google type software to give that information to those who don't have/want a computer, very high quality info for storms/hurricanes/etc so people know exactly where there's danger and not).

It has the opportunity to be an exceptionally valuable source of info for anyone for free, but it'll probably fall flat on it's face with legislation.
