The FCC/Government wants the lower level band widths for their own use and so they are taking them over. These band widths have been used by Television broadcast for years and can be picked up by areal antennas and rabbit ears.
The FCC gave all tv stations a mandate to vacate these channels/bands by Feb 2009 thus forcing them to move up to the higher "digital" band widths. These higher bands require either a digital converter--which an areal antenna or rabbit ears plugs into--or for the person wanting tv to subscribe to digital TV service.
If you already have cable tv--nothing changes you are already on digital channels. If not, you need to either get cable or buy one of those converter boxes (at Best buy or where-ever) to plug your rabbit ears and tv into..
