Analog to Digital Television Transition
The United States has transitioned to all-digital television broadcasting.
If each television in your household is connected to cable, satellite or a telco service (i.e. Comcast, DirecTV, or Verizon FiOS), then no further action is required on your part.
If one or more of your televisions receives broadcasts over-the-air (i.e., with a roof top antenna or "rabbit ears"), then you may need to purchase a DTV converter box for each television set.
For more information about the transition to digital television, please visit DTV Transition online or call 1-888-DTV-2009.
