It is not illegal not to switch. It's just if everybody else are switched to digital, you don't have anything to watch. Basically it used to be analog signal masts were sending out to your TV, nowadays it's (mainly) digital as it guarantees better quality. Soon you'll don't get analog signal anymore, so to watch TV you have to be digital.

My question is, what is digital TV?
Digital television has nothing to do with cable or satellite. The only thing digital television means is that the signal that is distributed is a digital one and not analog. The big switch that occurred two years ago means that everyone receives a digital signal. Now, if you want content, you are going to have to subscribe to a cable or satellite provider. What you probably saw was a basic service that gave you local channels, but not much else.
You h ave radio which receives television channels and therefore listen to some television programs over the radio will you still be able to receive television through your old radio after the digital?
No I am afraid not. The radio you have was built for reception of analog television audio. Once all the broadcasters switch their mode of transmission from analog to digital, all their signals going out over the air will be in a digital format.
What is the implication of only digital broadcasting in 2009?
This means that if you have analog TV and receive TV signals via an antenna, you either need to switch to digital TV (via cable or satelite service) or get a TV converter. Otherwise, you won't be able to watch any more shows, nothing at all, after February 17, 2009.
