Digital televsion transition questions
On February 17, 2009, TV stations will switch over to digital broadcasting. How will it affect you? Here are some answers.
Will I have to get a new TV? Not if you have a cable box or a set with a digital tuner. But an analog TV not not hooked up to cable will need a converter box.
Where do I get a box? Major retail chains will start selling them on February 17th, 2008.
So I have to pay for it? Yes, but every household is entitled to two $40 government-funded coupons. Call 888-DTV-2009 or log onto www.dtv2009.gov.
