To help clear spectrum for use by public safety officials, Congress passed legislation requiring all full power broadcast TV stations to end their analog transmissions and switch to a digital format by February 17, 2009. The change to Digital Television should be a smooth and easy transition. It will cost most TV consumers very little—or nothing at all. In fact, Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009. The Coupon Program allows households to receive to two $40 coupons that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes. The coupons are available from January 1, 2008—March 21, 2009. Read my downloadable guide to the digital television transition to help you understand how it will affect you. Also, please find the helpful links below for further DTV information.
