The good news is, if you bought a TV after March 1, 2007, than your good to go (as long as you bought your TV from a reputable dealer).  The law is, as of March 1, 2007, all TV receivers shipped or imported into the United States had to contain a digital tuner.

Also, effective back on May 25, 2007, it was required that anyone selling a TV without equipment that does not include a digital tuner to disclose right away that the TV only has an analog tuner. So...  buying a digital to analog converter box to receive broadcast television after the transition date will be necessary. Nice to know.

I just bought a TV: will it work?

If you bought your TV within the last few years, it's good to know that any retailer must have this posted on or near a TV that may only be analog:
 
This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nationʼs transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
