Chapt 2: What You Need to Know about DTV (Produced by FCC)

This video is furnished by the Federal Communications Commission. (This video is in the public domain and is uploaded in order to facilitate accessibility).

What you need to do to be ready for the DTV transition depends on how the TVs in your home currently receive broadcast signals.

Most of us get our television signal in one of three ways: from a cable provider, from a satellite provider, or over-the-air through an indoor or outdoor antenna -- like rabbit ears on your TV or a rooftop antenna.

If your TV is connected to cable, the change to digital-only broadcasting shouldnt affect you. Likewise, if your TV is connected to satellite and you receive your local broadcast stations from that satellite provider, the change to digital-only broadcasting shouldnt affect you.

But if you have a TV that gets an over-the-air signal with rabbit ears or a rooftop antenna, you may need to act.

Built inside your television is a piece of equipment called a tuner. If you have an older television, it probably has an analog tuner. If you have a newer television, one that you bought in the past few years, it may also have a digital tuner.
