How to Prepare for the DTV Transition

Public Safety Act of 2005

The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005 requires all television stations to stop analog broadcasts and switch to digital broadcasts after February 17, 2009.

According to industry experts, Digital television (DTV) transition represents the most significant advancement of television technology since the introduction of color television in 1950.  Consumers have much to gain from this transition – more free channels, clearer pictures and sound.  The DTV transition will not directly affect everyone – those who have a digital tuner in their television, or subscribe to a cable or satellite service provider need not worry. Yet, 34 million households have at least one television that will be affected.  If these televisions are not upgraded, consumers risk losing reception.
