Hi

Is the TV adapter for incar screens analogue or digital in nature?

What will happen on February 18th next year with a TV tuner in car system?

You will likely need to install an adapter in order to receive the digital signal broadcasts when all stations go to digital from analog. Anyone with an older TV that is not on cable or satellite such as using rabbit ears only in their home will need an adapter. I will be needing at least one to hook up to the battery operated portable tv for hurricanes.

I think they will, you'll just need a converter. The TV waves flying through the air for free will just be in a different format.

Explanation from the FCC:

and this to get a govt couplon to defray the cost of the converter:
