What is going to happen when broadcasting switches from analog to digital in 2009?
Any household connected to cable television is all set for the analog broadcasting cut-off in February 2009. At that time, TV stations across the country will drop their analog signals and broadcast only in digital. Cable television customers do not have to worry about losing broadcast signals, because the cable provider will still provide the stations through their cable service, just as they do now. For more information visit www.dtv.gov. Please note: You may have heard about the Federal Government’s discount coupon program to subsidize digital-to-analog converter boxes. Analog TVs connected to cable television will not need these converter boxes to continue receiving the local broadcast channels.
