Digital Television

Find out what you need to know (and do)
about digital broadcasting.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has answers to questions like these on their website:

  • What is digital broadcasting?
  • Can I still use my analog TV?
  • What if I have cable?

TV stations serving all markets in the United States are airing digital television programming today, although most will continue to provide analog programming through February 17, 2009. At that point, full-power TV stations will cease broadcasting on their current analog channels, and the spectrum they use for analog broadcasting will be reclaimed and put to other uses.
