The Digital Television Transition — We Can Help You!
Beginning February 17, 2009, your television may require a converter box to receive full power 'over-the-air' broadcasts. If your television only has an analog broadcast tuner, you will need a converter box, as the Nation transitions to digital only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with satellite and cable TV services, low-power TV stations, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. If you currently receive free over-the-air television programming on an analog television set, you will need a Digital TV converter box to receive television service after February 17, 2009. Digital TV converter boxes are available now and to help consumers cover the cost of the converter box, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is issuing up to two converter box coupons valued at $40 each to each eligible household. Information about the Digital TV converter box coupon program is available at www.dtv2009.gov. If you have questions: Call Frontier at 1-888-765-6484. We can help you.

DTV enables broadcasters to offer television with better picture and sound quality. It can also offer multiple programming choices, called multicasting, and interactive capabilities.2
- 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.3
