The Digital TV Transition
(It's time to get with the program)
The way Americans watch television is about to change forever. On Feb.17, 2009, broadcast stations in the U.S. will stop transmitting analog signals and start broadcasting exclusively in digital. The change allows stations to offer improved picture, sound quality, and additional programming choices. It also means that more than 15 million viewers who still receive over-the-air broadcasts will need to take action to prevent a loss of signal service after the deadline.
