Digital TV Switch
What is the Digital Television Transition?
By law, American television stations will end all analog broadcasts on February 17, 2009 and begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format. Television sets connected to cable, satellite or a telephone company video service provider should not be affected, and will continue to receive broadcast programming after that date. But TV sets that are not connected to cable or satellite, or do not have a built-in digital tuner, will need a converter box to continue receiving and displaying broadcast television after the transition occurs.
