Currently, most full power TV stations send both analog and digital signals. Standard old style analog signals will no longer be transmitted, it will be digital only and this may affect you!

Digital television is the wave of the future! Sounds overwhelming, but we’ll assist you with free advice and information to help make the transition EZ! We’ll give you all the details, but first, let us give you an overview.

If you are using satellite or a telephone company provider that is already digital, you won’t be affected by the transition. If you are a cable subscriber, you won't be affected right now, but you may be in the future. Check our Cable Information page for details.

If you don’t have a TV set with a built-in digital tuner (called an ATSC tuner), you will need to purchase a DTV Converter Box, also know as a set top box, to continue watching free TV after February 17, 2009.

A DTV converter box is a device that converts the new digital signal into the old analog signal used by your analog TV set. The box connects your antenna or rabbit ears to your television.

The DTV converter boxes will cost between $50 and $75 each, and you will need a separate box for each TV set. To help with the cost, the government has set up a DTV Converter Box Coupon Program.

Starting in January 2008, each household will be eligible for two (2) coupons worth $40 each. The coupons expire 90 days after mailing. Applications will be accepted from January 1, 2008 until March 31, 2009.

In a storm, when the cable or satellite goes out, (if you don't have a TV set with a digital tuner) you won't be able to hook up your rabbit ears to your TV set to get local weather and news without a converter box.

When you lose power, a portable TV is a great choice. Old portable TVs without digital tuners won't work. You will need a new portable digital TV.

Don't forget about your computer if you watch TV on your PC!

Technology is changing so fast that it’s hard to keep up with it all. Abbreviations are used everywhere; DTV, HDTV, CRT, LCD...what do they all mean?

We’ll talk about this and also the different types of televisions such as plasma, LCD, and projection TVs and how to choose which one is right for you!

You will have the information you need about the Analog to Digital TV Transition so you won't have any reception problems when the change takes place, all in plain English and EZ to understand!

Your television experience is about to change...
