Have you made the switch to digital television? The deadline for the national conversion has changed and is now effective on June 12, 2009. If you have an analog TV, you still have time to make the switch.
The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 stated the federal government would require television stations to make the switch from analog broadcasts to digital by February 17, 2009. The deadline has been changed and will now be effective on June 12, 2009. The Act also authorized the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to create a TV Converter Box Coupon Program.
Consumers who receive free television channels via an antenna are eligible to apply for two $40 coupons to be used to reduce the purchase of certified converter boxes. The converter box will be necessary in order to make the switch from analog television broadcasts to digital beginning June 12. The converter will help translate the digital signals. Television viewers that have their TV's connected to cable, satellite or pay television services will not have to make any changes.
It is important for all Americans to have television reception in order to access local news reports and emergency information. Start now to make the switch so that you are prepared when the June 12 deadline comes. By purchasing and connecting your converter box now, you can begin experiencing the benefits of digital TV with more program choices and clearer reception.
Consumers can do any of the following in order to be prepared:
- Connect the $50 - $80 converter box from the electronics store to each analog TV you own. You can purchase with or without a coupon.
- Replace your analog televisions with new digital models. Most TV's purchased since March 2007 will not need a converter box.
- Connect analog television sets from the antenna to paid services such as: cable, satellite.
