Feburary 17, 2009 Digital Television Transition

On February 17, 2009, TV stations will cease broadcasting in analog and switch to all digital signals. Analog TV sets not connected to cable, satellite or other Pay-TV service (in other words, TVs that use an antenna or rabbit ears for over-the-air TV) will need a digital converter box after February 17. Analog-only TVs connected to Brandenburg's digital video service or other satellite or cable provided television service should continue to work after the transition and will not need a converter box. Analog only TVs also should continue to work as before to receive low-power, Class A or translator TV stations and with gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players and similar products. The federal government is offering discount coupons for viewers who need to purchase converter boxes for analog TV sets.
