Digital Television (DTV) is an advanced
broadcasting technology that will transform your television viewing experience.
DTV enables broadcasters to offer television with better picture and sound
quality. It can also offer multiple programming choices, called multicasting, and interactive
capabilities.
Converting to DTV also will free up parts of the scarce and
valuable broadcast spectrum. Those portions of the spectrum can then be used for
other important services, such as public and safety services (police and fire
departments, emergency rescue), and advanced wireless services.

TV stations serving all markets in the United States are
airing digital television programming today, although most will continue to
provide analog programming through February 17,
2009. At that point, full-power TV stations will cease broadcasting on their
current analog channels, and the spectrum they use for analog broadcasting will
be reclaimed and put to other uses.
The Commission's digital tuner rule specifies that as of
March 1, 2007, all new TVs must include digital tuners. This rule
prohibits the manufacture, import, or interstate shipment of any device
containing an analog tuner, unless it also contains a digital tuner. Despite
this prohibition on manufacture and shipment, retailers may continue to sell
analog-only devices from existing inventory. As a result, at the point of sale,
many consumers may not be aware that this equipment will not be able to receive
over-the-air-television signals after February 17, 2009.

Consumer Alert
This television receiver has only an analog
broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to
receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s
transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as
before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players,
and similar products. For more information, call the Federal Communications
Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-5322) or visit the Commission’s
