What is the switch to digital television (DTV) from analog television?
Effective June 12, 2009 all television channels in the United States of America will have switched from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. Without going into the technical details all this means is that the picture and sound quality of your TV viewing experience will be much improved and that television stations will be able to offer a great deal more viewing options on their channels. What's more there will be a lot more programs in HD (high definition) available). Also, by completely switching to digital broadcasting from analog broadcasting it will be easier for the emergency authorities to disseminate important information.
How can I prepare for the switch to DTV?
If you have purchased your television set over the past year or two and get your TV reception from cable or satellite it will already be a digital TV and have a built-in digital tuner. You won't have to do anything for the DTV conversion. However, if you have an older analog TV (which means you still receive TV from a over-the-air antenna) you'll have to buy a digital converter box. You will NOT need a new TV. You'll have to connect the DTV converter box between your TV and cable and/or cable in order to receive ALL TV stations. If you do not buy a digital TV converter box you'll find that some of your favorite TV channels will become gray and white snow.
Buy a Magnavox DTV converter box on eBay
If you have not already done so you'll have to buy a DTV converter box. There are three main digital converter box brands that you can buy: Magnavox digital converter box, Zinwell digital converter box and Zenith DTV converter.
Magnavox DTV converter review
After extensive online research we've found that most customers prefer the Magnavox DTV converter to the Zinwell DTV converter. Regarding Zinwell, many customers have complained of difficulty installing and having trouble with the remote control.

For most customers the Magnavox DTV converter has worked right out of the box offering superior image reception and sound quality. It has a green light when it's on and an orange light when it's not on. The key is to follow the instructions correctly and to still have your antenna connected. The converter box will scan channels in your area and you should have extremely clear reception of previously-fuzzy channels and you should start getting new channels as well.
Magnavox set top box converter remote isn't up to par
Some customers have complained that the remote is not easy to use. And, if you lose the remote you won't be able to turn your Magnavox DTV converter on and off. So, don't lose it! The Magnavox DTV converter does include a basic EPG button which allows you to see what programs are coming on in the next few hours.

Hi Jen - Yes - I agree, switching to paid cable and buying a new TV solves everything. But some people can't afford cable & a new TV so they need the DTV converter set top box. Anyways, thanks for your input. It'll be interesting to see what happens on June 12. Maybe like that Y2K thing (remember when they thought the whole internet would crash when the year from 1999-2000?)

Hi, DTV has been good and bad. It is annoying when the picture does that fading thing. I have one tv already digital ready. Our other tv's use the converter boxes, can't recall the brand names off hand. Not that many new channels yet, I'm hoping to see more new ones once the 12th arrives. We have to rescan all the tvs to see what will be available, on the 12th. Some channels available on analog do not come in with digital. Seems like that defeats the purpose of digital and is quite annoying. Oh well, guess the only solution will be to switch to a paid service like cable.
