from analog to digital signals on February 17, 2009.  After that date, this 
product will require a converter device in order for it to receive/record over-
the-air broadcasts via an antenna from your local TV stations.  If you are a 
pay TV subscriber, your cable or satellite box should provide this 
functionality without additional equipment. Playback of recorded media 
(e.g. DVD or VHS movies) should remain unaffected.
