Time to Switch over to Digital TV from the old analog system. This has been coming for a long time and its finally here. From the official DTV goverment website, “The switch from analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel. Later, Congress set June 12, 2009 as the final date that full power television stations can broadcast analog signals. As of June 13, 2009, full power television stations will only broadcast digital, over-the-air signals. Your local broadcasters may make the transition before then, and some already have.”
So who is ready for the switch and who isn’t? We made a few maps based on the Neilson report showing who was ready and who will be left behind in analog. Check the maps out below.
