What does the digital TV switch involve?
It is not illegal not to switch. It's just if everybody else are switched to digital, you don't have anything to watch.

Digital converters are used to convert an analog input into a digital current. They also have converters that covert from digital to analog. These are used for older model TVs that need to take a newer digital technology input but the tv still requires analog.
When did it become a law to have an analog box?
It's not exactly a law to have a digital to analog converter box but they are needed to be able to watch television if you don't have a television with a digital receiver. Both the US and UK are going through a changeover from analog television broadcasts to digital broadcasts. In the US, major television channels had to be transmitted as a digital signal and their analog transmitters turned off in 2009. Smaller stations and community channels have more time to switch over. In the UK, all analog transmitters will be turned off by 2012. In both cases, once the analog transmitter is turned off, the only way to receive television channels is to use a digital receiver, sometimes referred to as an anlog box. The receiver changes the digital signal into a form that older analog televisions can display. The boxes mean that older televisions can still be used. All new televisions have a digital receiver built in so a separate box isn't needed.
Why can receive nearly all the digital tv chanels but itv and chanel 4 are not available?
Those particular channels may yet still be analog from your cable provider. Try doing a channel search with the analog tuner portion of your TV and see if they show up there. If they do, you'll have to switch between digital and analog inputs on your TV to receive the channels.
Will you still be able to use your non digital television once the switch over?
Yes you will. The digital switch over that is progressing in many countries is supported by the promotion of digital set top boxes. They are available at a minimal cost ($25 in the US or £20 in the UK for example). The set top box receives the digital transmissions and converts the signal to analog video and audio signals to be fed into an analog television. With a very few exceptions, analog televisions will not handle HD channels but they should be quite capable of receiving all SD channels. Similarly, most satellite and cable boxes have SD analog outputs so analog televisions will work with most broadcast platforms.

What is digital analog?
Analog TV:Analog (or analogue) television encodes television picture and sound information and transmits it as an analog signal: one in which the message conveyed by the broadcast signal is a function of deliberate variations in the amplitude and/or frequency of the signal. All systems preceding digital television, such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM are analog television systems. Digital TV:Digital television (DTV) is the sending and receiving of moving images and sound by discrete (digital) signals, in contrast to the analog signals used by analog TV.
Will the digital TV signal cause damage to an analog TV that does not have a digital converter box?
No.
