Broadcast Digital Television
I am sure you have all heard about television stations converting to digital on February 17, 2009. First, we would like you to understand that if your TV is hooked up to your local cable system or another subscription video provider, you will not be impacted by this change at all and will have to do nothing. All the subscription providers are taking care of this on their end.
If, however, your TV functions with the help of “rabbit ears” or an antenna, you will no longer be able to watch broadcast TV channels as of February 17, 2009 unless you have a digital TV. To find out if your TV is digital, look for a label that says “Integrated Digital Tuner,” “Digital Tuner Built-In,” “Digital Receiver,” or “Digital Tuner,” “DTV,” “ATSC,” or “HDTV.” If your TV has any of those labels, you should be OK.
It is only TVs that are not hooked up to cable and are not already digital that need to do anything in order to keep receiving TV signals after the February 17, 2009 date. For those of you with this situation, you have three options:
1.
Purchase digital converter boxes to use with your current analog TV’s ($40.00 government issued coupons are available by visiting www.DTV.gov, or by calling 1-888-DTV-2009.) Coupons are available on a first-com, first-served basis.
2.
Purchase a new digital TV.
3.
Connect your analog TV to the service provided by your local cable company or another video service provider.
If you still have questions concerning this issue, don’t hesitate to call Town Hall and speak to any of us. We will do our best to help.
