    Broadcast TV to Go Digital in February 2009

    The United States Congress has set February 17, 2009, as the deadline for the digital transition of all broadcast television signals. After that date, TV broadcasting will be in digital format. Analog TV’s will not be able to receive a digital signal.

    Consumers will have some decisions to make between now and February 17, 2009:

    • Should I make the investment in a digital television set or continue receiving a lower quality analog picture and sound (either through my cable or satellite provider or through a converter box)?
    • What questions should I ask when I am shopping around for a new television set?
    • What programming is currently available in digital format in my area?

    Visit www.dtv.gov to answer these and many other questions and to help you navigate the digital transition.
