DTV Transition Information |
At midnight on June 12, 2009, all full-power television stations in
the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100
percent digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises to provide a
clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves
for use by emergency responders. Once the DTV transition is completed,
some television channels will be turned over to fire and police
departments for emergency communication and others will be auctioned to
companies to provide new wireless services.
Analog television sets receiving free TV using an antenna will not work
after June 12, 2009. Television viewers with these sets that are not
connected to a pay TV service will need to take action before June 12, 2009, to ensure their TV sets continue to work.
Consumers have a variety of options. Options to explore include:
|
1. |
Keeping their existing analog TV and purchasing a TV converter
box. A converter box plugs into an analog TV and will keep it
working after June 12, 2009, or |
|
2. |
Connecting an analog TV to cable, satellite or other pay
service, or |
|
3. |
Purchasing a TV with a digital tuner. |
A TV converter box is a one-time purchase and is expected to cost
between $50 and $70. Click

TV converter boxes that can be purchased with $40 government coupons.
Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households
wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after June 12, 2009. The
Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth
$40, that can be applied toward the cost of Coupon-Eligible Converter
