Best Buy, the largest CE retailer across the land, has “pulled all remaining analog television products from store shelves and will only sell digital video tuners in the future.” It will also take part in a national coupon program to help people purchase digital converter boxes for existing analog televisions.

With Best Buy being the first retailer to announce its analog exit, expect competitors to probably follow suite shortly. The current transition date for conversion from analog to digital television signals nationally is currently set for February 2009.
