What’s the best thing to do environmentally?
Keeping your existing TV is the best option, both environmentally and financially. You do not need to purchase a new TV to receive programming after the switch. You may, however, need to take some simple steps to ensure continued service. What you need to do depends on the source of your programming (free broadcasting, cable, or satellite service) and the type of TV you have (digital or analog). A simple, one-time purchase of a converter box (for analog TVs using an antenna) or a cable or satellite subscription (for analog or digital TVs) will allow you to receive digital broadcasts with your existing TV.
