Will a digital tv still receive and process an analog signal from an outdoor antenna?
No. There will be no analog signal to receive and process from the outdoor antenna. The only signal coming from the outdoor antenna will be digital. When the conversion is complete. You will need to hook up your antenna directly to the TV. Your conversion box will be worthless as far as analog to digital is concerned.
Will satellite TV be all HD in February 2009?
No. All satellite TV is digital now. Some satellite TV is HD now, and more will be switching from HD to "standard" resolution. The February 2009 analog-to-digital switchover in the United States has nothing to do with HD. The digital conversion changes the format of the over-the-air broadcast channels from analog to all digital. But if you have satellite or cable TV, you don't get "broadcast" signals anyway.
What kind of cable and connector connects outside speaker to TV with a digital audio jack?
Speakers are analog devices. There is no cable and connector that will connect a digital audio jack to a speaker without a digital to analog conversion and an amplifier. If the audio output is digital, you will need a compatible amplifier that has the same digital input. Then you will need to link the amplifier to the speaker with exterior grade cable.
Do you have to buy an HDTV TV or will the cable companies be supplying conversion boxes for older TVs?

How come your vhf signal is gone?
In the United States, Congress has required that major TV stations broadcast only digital signals beginning on 14 June 2009. TV and radio broadcasting begin with analog signals and older televisions are capable of receiving only analog signals. If your TV is receiving over-the-air signals (not via cable or satellite dish) and it is not digital capable or equipped with a digital conversion box, it will seem as if your VHF and UHF television signals have gone away. A conversion box can be purchased in many stores for $40-$60 or so, and up to two government coupons per household are available to cover $40 of that.
Is a Sony Model KV-28FX2OU suitable for digital conversion?
