On February 17, 2009 Television
Will Evolve

In the era of analog broadcast television in the United States will end as the nation's full power television stations complete their transition to an all-digital system.

While this change will mark the end of the traditional analog method of broadcasting over-the-air television, it won’t signal the end of free broadcast television, and your favorite broadcast programs and local television stations will still be available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is the TV Converter Box Coupon Program?

Congress created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program for households wishing to keep using their analog TV sets after February 17, 2009.
The Program allows U.S. households to obtain up to two coupons, each worth $40, that can be applied toward the cost of eligible converter boxes.

A TV connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box from this program.

Consumers have a variety of options.

Options to explore include:

1. Keep your existing analog TV and purchase a TV converter box.
A converter box plugs into your TV and will keep it working after Feb. 17, 2009, or

2. Connect to cable, satellite or other pay service, or

3. Purchase a television with a digital tuner.
