FYI Digital TV
Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:36 pm
Hello
As you may know on Feb.17-2009 all TV broadcast will switch from Analog to digital broadcast.
What that means is if you get your TV off the air via a antenna and you have a older TV with a Analog tuner in it you will no longer be able to receive a signal.
You have two choices unless you switch to cable or dish TV they are, buy a new TV or get a converter box so you can receive digital broadcast on your old TV.
If you chose the later the government has a program to help with the cost of buying the converter box.
This started on Jan.1 of this year and has a limited number of coupons available.
I suggest you go to the web.sites below to get more Info and to sign up for a box if you need one.
