7 Things You Must Know

On Feb. 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format. This means that after that date all TV sets not equipped with digital tuners will no longer be able to receive programming through rooftop or rabbit-ear antennas.

 

With the clock ticking down, below are seven things you need to know to make sure you're ready for all-digital broadcasting. E-mail us at engineering@wttg.com with DTV questions.
