TERK FDTV2 TV Flat Digital Antenna - Gloss Black

Are you ready for antenna reception of DTV? Digital Television (DTV) is an advanced Broadcasting technology that will transform your television viewing experience. DTV enables broadcasters to offer television with better picture and Sound quality. It can also offer multiple Programming choices, called multicasting, and interactive capabilities. The Switch from Analog to digital broadcast television is referred to as the Digital TV (DTV) transition. In 1996, the U.S. Congress authorized the distribution of an additional broadcast Channel to each broadcast TV station so that they could start a digital broadcast channel while simultaneously continuing their analog broadcast channel. Later, Congress set June 12, 2009 as the final date that full power television stations could broadcast analog signals. As of June 13, 2009, full power television stations will only broadcast digital, over-the-air signals. Your local broadcasters may make the transition before then, and some already have. The digital transition is underway. Prepare now! On Feb. 17, some full-power broadcast television stations in the United States may stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital. The remaining stations may stop broadcasting analog sometime between April 16 and June 12. June 12 is the final deadline for terminating analog broadcasts under legislation passed by United States Congress.
