hey, Well... Let me attact them one at a time:

• they keep moving back the date for when everything will be required to be all digital. I think it is now 2009. It as 2005 then 2006.
• In order to watch HDTV (High Definition Television) Broadcasts on a SDTV (Standard Definition Television) or even an EDTV (Enhanced Definition Television) you will need to use a converter. Basically the equivalent of the old Cable Boxes. Most people with digital cable already have these boxes that will down convert to SDTV.
• As far as the kind of tv to buy, let me break it down by type: (this may not be accurate, but I believe it's pretty darn close)
  • LCD - Fixed Resolution, pretty expensive though getting cheaper every day, good for regular tv watching (for when lights are on), hangable
  • Plasma - Fixed resolution,second expensive (I think they are down to around $1500 for a 42inch), great for viewing with lights off, hangable
  • DLP rear projection - fixed Resolution,pretty expensive (around $5k for a 60inch), thin (about the depth of a standard 27inch CRT
  • LCD Rear Projection - like DLP, but uses 3 lcd panels (one for each color). Pretty expensive, fixed resolution, thin (about the depth of a standard 27inch crt).
  • CRT Rear Projection - Probably the cheapest solution for size, variable resolutions, bulky
  • Front Projetion (DLP,CRT,LCD) - These are about the same as thier rear rpojection counter parts, but the priced vary depending on the leve of quality. You can get SDTV one for about $500 and ranging up to about $30,000 for an HDTV (1080p) Fujistu DLP Projector

I hope this helps you out :D
