   No - the regulation in place stipulates that, at some point,   
   TVs in the US must receive digital broadcasts, not necessarily   
   in widescreen or HDTV.  Most old TVs will still work great, because   
   they're fed by satellite or cable set-top boxes that will decode digital   
   streams and output an analog signal pre-2006 TVs can accept.  Newer   
   boxes will have both an analog and digital output.   
      
   There has been some talk of extending the digital broadcast deadline.
