When does it happen?
- On February 17, 2009, the nation’s broadcast television stations will begin broadcasting exclusively in digital.
I have Cox Cable, am I affected?
- No. If you have Cox Cable and your TV is connected to a Cox cable outlet, great news, you don’t need to do anything.
- If you have an analog TV that is not connected to a Cox cable outlet simply give us a call to install one.*
- If you don’t have Cox cable, give us a call to see how we can help.

What is the Digital TV transition?
- TV networks (broadcasters) will no longer be permitted to send analog signals to TVs. This means that anyone who has an analog TV and relies on an antenna to get their signal will no longer be able to view over-the-air broadcast programming unless they have a digital-to-analog converter box.
Why is the government implementing the digital transition?
- Having digital signals will free up capacity for first-responders such as local police and fire departments to improve emergency response.
- Digital broadcasting allows TV stations to send clearer signals which enhance picture and sound quality.
- TV stations can use this new technology to transmit high-definition signals to provide new HD channels.
* A digital-to-analog converter is not needed if your TV is connected to a Cox cable outlet. Installation charges apply for wiring additional cable outlets. Restrictions may apply. © 2008 CoxCom, Inc. dba Cox Communications Arizona. All rights reserved.
