Television Will Evolve
By law, television stations nationwide
will be required to switch the way in
which they transmit their TV signals.
Television stations must switch
from
the original method
of transmitting TV signals known as analog
to digital
television (DTV) on February 17, 2009.
DTV is a new type of broadcasting
technology that delivers high quality
pictures and sound, more channels, and
even high definition television (HDTV)
to consumers with HD television sets.
While the benefits of DTV are clear,
millions of households risk losing
over the air television reception unless
they take the necessary steps to receive
a digital
signal. WFYI is here to assist you
with this process by providing information.
