DTV Transition Advisory The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting was complete on June 12, 2009. Analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an antenna now need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting.
Television Antenna Connection Protection If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
