On June 12th, the television system that has been in use for 60 years will be turned off for good.  What remains is a new “digital” system that may or may not be capable of working with your existing television set.  This site is intended to bring clarity and guidance on what you need to do so you can continue receiving local television stations.

First, if you have a new “digital” television with a DTV tuner or if you have cable or satellite service, then you’re set.  If other televisions in your home are not new or not connected to a cable or satellite service, then keep reading.

If you have a television with a square shaped picture tube (and the cabinet is more than 4 inches thick) that uses a “rabbit-ears” antenna, is connected to an antenna mounted on the roof, or that uses an apartment building master antenna system, then you have several options.

If you have an newer television with a wide rectangular screen, and you use an antenna instead of the cable or satellite, you may not need to do anything.

To find out what to do, click the pictures on the right or the link on the left that best describes how your television is set up.
