Come February 2009, the world of TV will change forever because signal transmission will be changed from analog to digital. For more than 45 years, all channels available in a TV were broadcasted using analog signals. This change which will take place in February 2009 will be the next big thing to happen in the world of TV since it changed from black and white to color TV.

This change is going to bring a big impact to almost every single person in the world. Even though information is already being released by authorities, there will still be people who will b caught off guard when the time comes. If they do not realize it, they will have no channels at all when they turn the TV after FEB 2009. Therefore, anybody who is still using an analog TV will have to upgrade their TV in order to receive signals and watch programs.

The most straightforward way to receive digital signals is to get a digital converter box. You will not need to purchase this digital converter box if you are currently using cable or satellite TV services. However, if your TV is using an antenna to receive signals, you will have to get the digital converter box. With this digital converter, it converts the digital signals and turns it to the old analog format so that the older version TV will be able to get access to the broadcasted programs. Following up on the transition, government has provided rebates on the purchase of the converter boxes.

No matter what, TV that needs a digital converter to transform the digital signal to analog signal must be obtained before 18 February 2009 or they will see a black screen when they turn on the TV. As the date of the change comes closer, many retailers both online and offline are carrying out massive sales on these converter box to push and awareness and also a chance to profit from this change. It is estimated that 1 out of 8 houses will need to purchase the converter box to receive TV signals. So act fat now before the marketplace run out of converter boxes and you will left with a blank screen on the TV.
