DTV:
What you need to know
On June 12th 2009, television broadcasters will no longer
be transmitting analog signals. This marks the date that Congress has
mandated for a change to digital signals, or DTV.
The
signal change will not just improve the quality of programming, but it
will also open up valuable parts of the broadcast spectrum for public
safety officials, such as fire, police and emergency personnel. The
transition will offer a better quality picture and sound, compared to the
old analog system.
If you subscribe to NHTC Cable or
satellite service you DO NOT need to purchase any equipment to keep your
television working. You will continue to receive the same high quality
broadcasts as usual.
Only people who receive their TV
signal from a rooftop antenna or "rabbit ears" will be affected
by the change. They may need to purchase a converter to continue to receive
television signals.
