The digital television transition, also called the digital switchover (DSO), the analogue switch/sign-off (ASO), the digital migration, or the analogue shutdown, is the process in which older analogue television broadcasting technology is converted to and replaced by digital television.
The digital television transition in the United States was the switchover from analog to exclusively digital broadcasting of terrestrial television programming.
By early January 2009, the NTIA had issued $1.34 billion worth of coupons for converter boxes, reaching the obligation limit set by the U.S. Congress in the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Act of 2005.
24 Μαρ 2009 · WASHINGTON - As the June 12 deadline for the nationwide conversion to digital TV approaches, the TV Converter Box Coupon Program has begun to accept replacement requests from eligible households whose coupons expired without being redeemed.
The converter box converts the over-the-air digital signals into signals that analog TV sets can receive and display. FCC rules require digital-to-analog converter boxes to pass through closed captions. This guide explains how consumers can access closed captions using these converter boxes.
Two federal web sites have information on the digital transition: www.dtv2009.gov and www.dtv.gov. The telephone number for information on the converter box coupon program is 888-DTV-2009 or 888-388-2009. For more information or questions pertaining to the DTV transition, you can e-mail DTVinfo@fcc.gov.
The transition to digital television (DTV) was originally scheduled to take place at the end of 2006, but that deadline was set back: first to 31 December 2008, then to 17 February 2009, and then finally to 12 June 2009.
