DTV Transition Advisory

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting was complete on June 12, 2009. Analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an antenna now need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
