How to get DTV?
Cable and Satellite User
CABLE
If your cable company makes the voluntary business decision to switch some or all of its channels to digital, it may notify you that you need to get “Digital Cable” equipment to continue receiving that service. This may include renting or purchasing a cable set-top box. This cable equipment is different from the digital-to-analog converter boxes discussed above, and digital cable equipment is not eligible for the $40 coupons.
If you have a digital TV, you may be able to view broadcast stations through your cable system without additional equipment. You should ask your cable company about the equipment options that may be available to you, including any options to purchase equipment from a retailer if you do not wish to rent equipment from your cable company.
Satellite / Broadband
Other Paid-TV
You should check with your satellite TV provider to find out if you can receive local broadcast stations through your satellite dish. If you cannot, or if you choose not to subscribe to a package that provides the local stations through your dish, you may need a digital-to-analog converter box to view digital broadcast programming on an analog TV.
You also should check with your provider to find out if satellite TV set-top boxes are available that include a digital broadcast tuner. You may be able to rent or purchase these from your provider, or you may be able to purchase them from an electronics retailer. If your satellite TV set-top box has a digital broadcast tuner, you should not need a separate digital-to-analog converter box to watch digital broadcast programming on an analog TV.
