Digital TV Transition

On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. Digital broadcasting will allow stations to offer improved picture and sound quality and additional channels. Current analog stations that can be received over the air will totally switch to digital signals on February 17, 2009. All TVs built after March 1, 2007 are required by law to have digital tuners; these TVs will not require converter boxes. Consumers who rely on antennas (including outside antennas and "rabbit ears") to receive over-the-air broadcast signals on TV sets having only analog tuners will need to obtain separate digital-to-analog set-top converter boxes to watch over-the-air TV.

For more information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 or visit the Commission's digital television website at: www.DTV.gov
