Digital television is being installed across the country to replace the analog television signal. Americans have until June 12, 2009 or they will not be able to receive the new digital television signals. People who are affected are the ones who own television sets with antenae. Owners of cable television or satilite television will not be affected. A converter box will have to be installed on the analog televisions to receive the new digital television signals. View the three videos in detail to get a better understanding of how you are effected by digital signals coming into your area by June of 2009. Some cities across the country had the digital signals installed in their areas February of 2009. President Obama had postponed the installation so that Americans have more time to adjust to the change in the television signals in their areas.

The Washington Post reports that the Federal Communication Commission  (FCC) is notifying Americans of  digital television called DTV. Changing over to digital television has many Americans wondering what to do with the analog TV that they have now. Oprah as well as many local news reporters have been on infocommercials informing the public what to expect. Now is the time to make sure that your TV is DTV. The sound quality and the picture quality will be better on DTV  than the analog televsion sets.

The timeline is less that thirty days that every home in America has to be connected to digital television if they choose to watch TV at all. The Federal Communication Commission said that the government agency is going to schools as well as picnics to spread the word about the coming of digital television by June of 2009. On that date broadcasters will have no other choice but to transmit television signals digitally instead of by analog signals. The federal government estimates that about 3.5 million televison owners have yet to transfer to television signals or  television with antenae that has to be connected to the converter box.

The FCC is getting public relations firm to notify these millions of Americans who do not have a digital television set, cable or satelite television or the converter box. The American public can expect to see more public service advertisements on what to do with the advent of digital television. Some areas of the country are slow to adapt the converter box and is presently using the analog television sets.

The FCC has also set up a call center with 4,000 contact employees to help people who have questions about the switch from analog to digital TV signals at 888-CALL-FCC.

The FCC coordinator says that the 3.5 million of Americans needs to be proactive either by purchasing a converter box or changing to a digital television  compatible to the broadcaster's signals in their region of the country.

The FCC commissioner said that there will not be another postponement like what happened in February of 2009.
