Transition
to Digital Television On February 17, 2009 television broadcasters will make the transition from an analog to digital television (DTV) system. DTV represents a huge leap in broadcast technology. It will allow broadcast of high definition pictures, CD-quality sound, wider picture and is also a more efficient way of using the broadcast spectrum. When the transition is made to digital, older televisions that are not set to receive DTV will no longer work. In order to watch television, consumers will be required to buy a digital television or a converter box for their old television in order to receive a signal.It is important for Congress and the FCC to make sure the transition to DTV is as smooth as possible for consumers. Learn more about the benefits of DTV and what you can do to be prepared for the transition by visiting www.dtv.gov. |
