DTV Transition

On February 17, 2009, the era of analog broadcast television in the United States will end, as the nation completes its transition to an all-digital system. While this change will mark the end of the traditional analog method of broadcasting over-the-air television, it won’t signal the end of free broadcast television, and your favorite broadcast programs and local television stations will still be available.

PCL has received numerous inquiries about this switch. So here are a number of helpful information resources, plainly worded, that tell the public what will be happening and when:

DTV Flyer

DTV Fact Sheet (from the Federal Communication Commission)

Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program (each American household can request two $40 coupons toward the cost of the converter boxes that will be needed for TVs that have been working on "rabbit ears" or rooftop antennas).

Hopefully, this information will prove useful to all our customers.
