Home  What is DTV? Who's Affected?

Television as we have known it changed nationwide.

 

Television stations nationwide are under a mandate to switch from the method of transmitting TV signals known as analog, used since the 1940s, to digital television (DTV). This channel is currrently and has been transmitting a digital channel in addition to the analog channel you have always gotten. By law, all analog transmissions are to cease on June 12, 2009, an extension on the original February 17 deadline.

DTV is an innovative new type of broadcasting technology that delivers movie-quality pictures and sound, more channels, and even high definition television (HDTV) to consumers with HD television sets.

While the benefits of DTV are remarkable, millions of households risk losing television reception unless they take the easy steps to receive a digital signal. We're here to assist you throughout the entire transition process.
