Digital Television Transition

How Do I Navigate the Transition?

Prior to the February 2009 transition date, consumers who rely on free over-the-air analog TV will have three options to ensure continuous access to TV service :

• (1) Purchase a new television set with a built-in digital tuner;
• (2) Purchase a set-top converter box that will convert the digital signal into analog for an existing television set; or
• (3) Subscribe to cable, satellite or a telephone company television service provider, in which case analog sets will continue to function.
