I have been told my TV won't work anymore after this year.
That is a misleading statement! The truth is, after February 17,2009 all full-power television stations will broadcast only in digital. This means if you use "rabbit ears" or a rooftop antenna with an analog TV, you must take action to continue receiving television broadcasts. If you are connected to cable, satellite or other pay service you need to do nothing, you will not be effected. The Federal Government is offering U.S. household up to two $40 coupons to help with the cost of certified TV converter boxes. A converter box is a one-time purchase that will allow your analog TV to continue to receive television broadcasts after February 17, 2009 These Certified converter boxes are expected to cost between $40 and $70. The coupons are free and are mailed to you by the Federal Government.
