Digital Television Transition

At midnight on February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises to provide a clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders.

Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes.

You may apply for coupons here: https://www.dtv2009.gov/ApplyCoupon.aspx

Re: Digital Television Transition

If you have cable or satellite then you do not need to worry about this... Only if you intend on getting all of your programing via antenna, do you need to worry about getting a modern life...
