Best Answer

Older TV sets use analog signals. In February, all TV signals that are now analog will become digital because it gives more efficient use of the bandwidth. Analog sets will not receive and interpret the images from a digital transmission.

It's the same reason you can't use your old TV as a computer monitor.
