This day is going to be friggin' hilarious. They'll be zombies out wandering the streets, drooling, "where's my television?" By then I will probably be one of them.
You know certain issues haven't looked into very carefully or ignored entirely.
There are areas where cable tv doesn't reach. A fellow worker lives out in the boonies 30 mile drive to work and the cable tv said he'd have to pay 6000 bucks to run cable out there not to mention the 60 bucks a month for sevice and 8 bucks a month for the converter. and since there are just three farms out there, he'd have to sign a 1 year agreement.
Where can one buy a separate converter besides comcast or other cable companies. haven't seen any stand alone converters advertised except in expensive tv's

 I think the digital converters will be available anywhere you used to be able to buy rabbit ears. Because in a sense that's just what they are... a 21st century rabbit's ears.

You will still need the rabbit ears with the digital converter boxes to receive the OTA programming. The rabbit ears worked fine for me 6 yeras ago when I first started wacthing and recording(with a PC HD tunuer card) the OTA HD broadcasts.
