What Will Digital TV Do To Me?


Steven Lancey

The Digital TV transition will, most likely, effect everyone in some way. Find out how greatly it will personally effect you, and what you must do to be equipped.

The Digital TV transition will be taking place on February 17, 2009. That' less than six months away. On that date, all full-power television stations will cease broadcasting analog television signals and will go to 100% digital signal.

What are we switching to Digital TV?

The digital transition will supply consumers with a better picture, better sound superiority and also provide more programming options for them. It will also open analog airwaves for emergency services.

Will the Digital TV transition effect me?

Yes, you will most likely be effected. If you have an analog television (rabbit ears or antenna TV) then it will not work for over the air free TV after the transition. It will however remain to work for cable, satellite, and movies.

Is there anyway that I can keep watching my existing television?

If you buy a Digital TV converter box* it will make your television compatible with digital television signals.

How much does the converter box* cost?

A good number of the Digital TV converters on the market right now sell for $40-$75. Where can purchase a digital TV converter box*?

You can acquire a converter box* from most electronic stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Wal-Mart. There are several places online where you can purchase a converter box* and have it shipped right to your door.

Is there any relief to offset the cost of this transition?

The government is providing $1.4 billion worth of coupons to consumers who want to buy a digital converter box. You can apply for one through the governments coupon website. With the $40 coupon it should be very cheap to get your converter box*. These coupons are limited to 2 per household.

Are there any other options?

You can keep your older television working by getting cable or satellite as an alternative to antenna signals. You can also buy a new TV that is equipped with its own digital tuner.
