Nothing changes as long as you have cable or satellite.

Hard to say, but probably. You will most likely need to buy a converter, though.

If your cable company choses to still provide analog cable signal you will be OK, and if they don't they will provide you with some kind of converter box.

If you don't have cable, then you can probably buy a broadcast converter box, but it would probably be half the price of a new TV.

No. No more Analog broadcasting.

This is just the elimination of the old broadcast signal to the big TV antennae on the roof. The TV stations want to stop having to do that, and rightly so. Why is there still a law that says they have to broadcast anything?

You will still be able to use it with a set-top converter box, connected to a digital TV antenna.
