Just to clear things up, I believe that the radios that receive the current TV bands will not work after the DTV transition of February 17, 2009. For one, the current radios receive analog signals and are not equipped with the digital decoder to receive the new signals. Secondly, the new digital TV stations are broadcast on completely different frequencies than the current analog stations, and once the DTV transition is complete, the old analog frequency bands will be allocated to other uses such as emergency services and wireless broadband.
