INFORMATION REGARDING THE DIGITAL TV TRANSITION
Aftr February 17, 2009, a television receiver
with only an analog br
oadcast tuner will
require a converter box to receive full power,
over the air broadcasts with an antenna due
to the USA’s nationwide transiton to digital
broadcasting. Analog only TVs should continue
to work as before to receive low power, Class
A or translator TV stations, cable/satellite
services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players,
and similar products.
Information about the DTV transition is
available at:
www.DTV.gov or 1.888.CALL.FCC
See pages 4 to 7 to view image details.
Information about subsidized coupons for
digital to analog converter boxes (like the
CM-7000) is available at:
www.dtv2009.gov or 1.888.DTV.2009
The CM-7000 digital to analog convert box is
capable of receiving digital broadcasts via a
TV antenna and displays them on an analog
TV set. This converter box does not include
analog pass through, so the use of an A/B
switch or splitter is required to receive both
digital and analag signals from one antenna
(see pages 6 and 7).
