By now, I’m sure everyone has seen or heard that the government has made the switch to digital and that analog signals for televisions will no longer be broadcasted. Now, if you’re still unsure about what this change really means, let’s see if we can help you get a clearer perspective on the situation!

On June 12^{th ,} to be exact, all analog stations did cease to transmit the outdated analog television signal and switched to digital. A digital  broadcasting system will give you a better quality signal compared to what the analog signal can give and it also allows multicasting (which is the ability to transmit more than one station at a time.)  It also takes us from an outdated technology to the new standard allowing us to advance to the next level of broadcasting as a whole. How does that affect everyone? 

If you are currently on a paid television service i.e. Comcast or Verizon, you will see no change in service because your television provider is already broadcasting to you in digital so you have nothing to worry about.  Those of us who are currently receiving TV through an antenna are the ones that this change will affect. To continue receiving a signal, if you are using an antenna after the June 12, 2009 change over, you will need to get a converter box which you can find at most electronic stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart and World Wide Stereo.

The government is assisting some people with the switch over by giving coupons for the converter boxes. If you would like to see if you are eligible please go to https://www.dtv2009.gov/. Another very informative site on the change-over is http://www.dtvanswers.com/.

Whatever you do, it is important not to be afraid of the change, but instead embrace it and move forward with it. Once you do, be assured that you will see your television in a whole new way as it comes alive with new color and bolder dimensions of personality.
