The Federal Communications Commission has prepared a Consumer Advisory on selected features in 32 digital-to-analog converter boxes that it has purchased. Converter boxes are to be used with your analog television to receive digital signals broadcast for free over-the-air to your antenna. All the converter boxes listed are certified under the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) converter box coupon program and, therefore, are eligible for purchase using a coupon issued by the NTIA.

"DTV" IS COMING
(AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK)

Are you still using a regular antenna, either on your roof or a smaller version on your TV such as “rabbit ears?” Then this message is for you!! Or your seniors, friends or family that may not know of this conversion. DTV is a new type of broadcasting technology that will transform television as we now know it.

DTV technology will allow broadcasters to offer television with movie-quality picture and CD-quality sound, along with a variety of other enhancements. DTV technology can also be used to transmit large amounts of other data into the home, which may be accessible by using your computer or television set.

On February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format. Here’s what these requirements will mean for you and your television viewing.
