The US Goes Digitalby Sammy Satellite. – Staff Writer for n2news Congress mandated the conversion to all-digital television broadcasting (DTV) because digital signals will free frequencies for public safety uses (such as police, fire, and emergency rescue). Digital TV signals take much less space on public airwaves to transmit the same amount of information. In fact, it is so efficient that digital TV stations will likely transmit multiple different video streams containing different shows. If you currently watch TV using an FTA Receiver to watch Free-To-Air shows, you have nothing to worry about, the switch to all digital does not affect you. If you currently watch TV using a box provided by a cable company, the switch won’t affect you but you’re missing out and should seriously consider the FTA hobby. If you have been watching over the air signals from network stations in your market, now is the perfect time to upgrade to an FTA receiver. Even if you don’t have a satellite and have no intention of installing one, and FTA receiver is an excellent option for your TV needs. FTA receivers are well supported and often include PVR functions, on screen guides, and other entertainment options and many are capable of receiving the all digital signals in your local market and showing them on your existing TV. Q: What date will I need an FTA receiver to help me watch my local over the air (OTA) broadcasts? A: The US will officially switch on February 17th, 2009 Q: Can I upgrade now? A: Yes, you should install your FTA receiver now.
