For questions about the DTV transition, call 1-888-Call-FCC
On June 12, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting.
Digital broadcasting promises to provide a clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders.

If you want to keep your current analog TV, you have two options:
1. You can buy a converter box
2. Connect to cable or satellite service
The government has created the
converter box coupon program to help analog TV owners purchase eligible converter boxes. The coupons are worth $40 toward the purchase of a converter box.
