Digital Television Transition

U.S. transitioning to digital television broadcasting by June 2009

Federal Digital Television ("DTV") Transition

As soon as February 17, 2009, but no later than June 12, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Additional information about the DTV transition or subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes is available at...
