DirecTV stated the following when I asked them:
"Standard, non-high-definition DIRECTV satellite equipment will not be
obsolete when the broadcast industry converts from an analog to digital
format. Because DIRECTV equipment and broadcast centers are already
digital, we must convert the current analog programming signals to
digital signals before transmitting them to our satellites. We then beam
these digital signals to your DIRECTV receiver.
Standard DIRECTV receivers are designed to work for many years to come
to provide the same high-quality standard-definition programming that
you enjoy as a DIRECTV customer today. "

This may be moving off topic, but I've had some questions about DTV.
I have DirecTV for 9 years, thus my dish and receiver are old. My TV
is about 4 years old. Will I have to change anything?
