DTV: February 17, 2009

April 24th, 2008 | by Bloddard |

I’m appalled by how many people still don’t understand that the February 17, 2009 digital television transition, will not affect those who receive their channels through a cable or satellite provider. I have heard some people say that they’ll have to buy a digital TV because theirs will soon be useless; others say that they keep forgetting to act in order to get their coupon to buy a converter box, which sounds fine until they mention they have pay cable. Before these people make an unnecessary investment in this weak economy, they need to become informed. I saw a television commercial today about a government website that provides information on everything one needs to know about the DTV transition. DTV2009.gov is the one stop shop; you need not look any further. It explains what the transition is about, what the TV converter Box Coupon Program is and allows for online coupon applications. It helps you, by way of a “Yes” or “No” questionnaire, determine whether the change will affect you. Helps you locate a Converter Box reseller and it has a series of Frequently Asked Questions as well as a Recent Updates section. Let’s make an informed decision.
