Should governments help citizens pay for digital televisions to replace their soon-to-be-obsolete analog ones?

Attention owners of primitive TVs: If you still use an antenna to watch 'American Idol,' your picture will disappear at midnight on Feb. 17, 2009, unless you buy something called a digital converter box. No one knows how much these boxes, which have yet to be produced, will cost. But the government will help you pay for them, at least until the money runs out.
