We Make the Digital TV Transition Easy

You may have extra time to prepare for the country’s transition to Digital Television. Congress has moved the last date for broadcast stations to transition from its original date of February 17th, 2009 to June 12th, 2009.

That means there’s still time for you or anyone you know using a TV with rabbit ear or other antennas to get ready, but you should act now.

Broadcast stations in the Michigan area may still transition as early as February 17th anyway. WMYD 20 and WPXD 31 will stop analog transmission on February 17th. More stations may follow on March 14th.

If you’re not a Bright House Networks cable customer, let us make the transition easy for you. Any TV connected to our cable lines will ensure you receive the TV programming you’ve always enjoyed.
Call for our Broadcast Basic Cable service now.

If you are a Bright House Networks customer, you’re already set for the transition in June 2009 as long as your TVs are plugged into our cable lines. You won't have to do a thing!

What is DTV and why is this change happening?

DTV is a new type of broadcasting technology that changes the way people watch TV, with dramatically better picture and sound quality than the older analog technology. DTV also serves an important public function - freeing up valuable airwaves space for first responders like police and fire departments. The DTV transition takes place between February 17, 2009 and June 12, 2009, as required by the Federal Communications Commission.
