Learn About Digital TV

The digital transition in the United States is February 19, 2009. If you do the math you know that the transition is less than a year away. This is where full-power TV stations must transmit digital 100% and end analog transmissions.
You might have seen commercials about digital converter boxes. These are devices that will help analog televisions receive digital signals when connected to an antenna.
Cable, satellite or IPTV services aren't directly affected by the transmission and you will continue to receive signals as before. Of course, cable companies may redirect your service to a digital tier and ask that you lease a set-top box.
