At midnight on February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in analog and switch to 100% digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises to provide a clearer picture and more programming options and will free up airwaves for use by emergency responders.
If you do not have a television with a digital tuner you will need a converter box. Big Brother is giving away coupons for about 40% off the price of the converter boxes. Each household is elegible to receive 2 coupons. You can apply for the coupons and find more info about the issue at: <https://www.mydtv2009.gov/Default.aspx> A question for those of you who know. After the switch to digital will there be new station numbers or will we still tune to, for example, Channel 3 to get NBC? Thanks.
