Announcements
The Digital Television Transition (DTV) Will Occur on February 17, 2009.

Are You Ready?
On February 17, 2009, all local television stations will stop broadcasting in the traditional analog format and switch to all-digital transmissions. Many of you could lose your television service if you are not prepared for this change.

Television sets that receive signals over the air and are not connected to cable or satellite service will likely need a digital-to-analog converter box to keep working after the digital television transition. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is making two $40 coupons available to every household to help defray the cost of converter boxes.

The digital television transition will ultimately provide consumers with a variety of benefits, including more and higher quality broadcast television programming, as well as enhanced public safety communications and more robust wireless service offerings.

To request converter box coupons, call 1-888-DTV-2009 or visit http://www.dtv2009.gov to learn more.
