By law, full-power television stations nationwide
must switch from the old method of transmitting TV signals known
as analog to digital television (DTV) on February 17, 2009. 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.

to receive a digital signal. We're here to assist you throughout
the entire transition process.
Use the resources below to help make your transition
smoother.
