How can I be sure that I am buying a digital TV (DTV)?
By law, beginning March 1, 2007, all television reception devices
(including TVs, VCRs, DVRs, etc.) imported into the U.S. or shipped in
interstate commerce must contain a digital tuner. Retailers may continue
to sell analog-only devices from existing inventory, but must prominently
display on or near the analog-only device a Consumer Alert label with this
advisory:
CONSUMER ALERT
This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a
converter box after June 12, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an
antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only
TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services,
gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products. For more
information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322
(TTY: 1-888-835-5322) or visit the Commission’s digital television website at:
www.dtv.gov.
