In 2005, Congress set a hard deadline of February 17, 2009, for television stations to replace traditional analog broadcasts with digital broadcasts, known as the "Digital Television Transition (DTV Transition)", and was done to expand service and provide more options to consumers.

If you currently rely on rabbit ears or a roof top antenna AND have an analog television, after February 17, 2009, you no longer will be able to receive television programming that way.
