By law, all local television broadcasts will become digital. In addition to providing a better viewing experience, digital transmission will also free up air waves for wireless communications used by public safety agencies during emergencies.
You’ll see a dramatically clearer picture, better sound quality and enhanced services such as closed captioning and multicasting.
Who will be affected by this transition?
TVs that rely on antennas (either set top or roof top) to receive signals will lose service. Households that primarily use cable or satellite services should not lose programming, but may need a converter box to take advantage of some services. If your TV is not yet digital ready, there are many ways to make the transition smooth (please see below).
