FEBRUARY 17, 2009 ARE YOU READY?
Your TV signal is switching to "Digital"
After February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to digital broadcasting. Digital technology will provide improved picture quality, more programming options and free up airwaves for emergency responders. Individuals will need to either purchase a converter box, connect their TV to cable, satellite or other pay services; or buy a TV with a digital tuner. The Federal Government is providing coupons towards the purchase of a certified TV converter box.
For more information about the digital transition, call (1-888-225-5322) (voice) or
(1-888-835-5322) (TTY). Or visit www.dtv2009.gov
