New Digital Transition

Date June 12th, 2009

The Nationwide switch top digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12th, 2009, but some local television stations may switch sooner. 

The FCC has a newly revised DTV website.  Go to www.dtv.gov to learn about DTV, check the status of your coupon application, and find helpful publications such as a troubleshooting guide that provides a converter box hook-up checklist and a guide that offers tips on the reception of digital signals.  The newly revised website also offers DTV reception maps for your neighborhood. 

We also have 3 new publications relating to the DTV transition.  Please take a moment to review by clicking on the following links:
