Does this mean that my emergency, battery-operated analog TV set will in fact continue to work on the VHF channels?
Not after sometime in February 2009, unless you are speaking of certain low power television stations. The big commercial broadcasters will be going all digital
When we're having a hurricane and the power is off, its good to see the weather maps, etc. that can be seen on the commercial, on- the-air VHF channels using the battery-operated TV. It runs on 12 volts and will operate for quite a while on a car battery. I suspect not. I suspect I will need either a battery-operated digital-to-analog converter box, or a battery-operated digital TV.
Correct, except as stated above.
