As far as I know, for some time both signals will be broadcast. After that, if you still want to use your old TV you will have to buy a box to convert the signal.
One interesting thing that happened here in Brazil (where I live) is that when they began changing from b&w to color, the signal was only broadcast in color, in PAL-M, a system that would work on both b&w and color TVs. Did they have to broadcast 2 different signals on the US?
