FCC DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE
February 17, 2009 marks the date when local over-the-air full-power TV broadcasts will
transition from analog to digital within the United States. Consumers with analog TVs,
who rely on an over-the-air antenna to receive their local broadcast TV programming, will
need a digital-to-analog converter box, a digital TV with a digital tuner, or to subscribe to
a pay TV service like DISH Network to display those digital broadcasts. Analog TVs that
do not use one of those methods to get a digital signal will continue to work for other
purposes, including watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog,
watching pre-recorded movies with a DVD player or VCR, or playing video games.
Great news!
Your new DTVPal DVR allows you to continue enjoying the over-the-air digital
broadcasting programming available in your area. Your new DTVPal DVR also allows
you to receive analog broadcasts simply by pushing the Analog Pass-Through on your
remote. This is a great feature to view those low-power TV stations that do not convert to
digital on 2/17/09.
Additional information regarding the digital television transition, including information
about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes, is available at
