I'm doing a research paper on it, and I can assure you that most people don't need the converters. If you're using rabbit ears or whatever, you do.

The government REALLY just wants you to buy new TVs, but meh.

I have an SDTV, so it shouldn't affect me.

i dont know why they MUST.

You don't need a new TV. An overwhelming majority of people aren't even affected by this.
