Special Information for OPB's Rural Viewers
If you watch OPB over the air on one of the translator channels listed in the chart below, your digital conversion date will likely be later than February 2009.
When will my OPB station switch to digital?
OPB is developing a plan, with guidance from the FCC, to switch our translator channels to digital broadcasting. Your translator channel's conversion date will be posted here as soon as that information is available.
Do I need a special converter box?
Do you live in the white area of this map? And do you watch OPB TV over the air using an analog TV and an antenna or rabbit ears? If the answer is yes to both of these questions — and since your conversion date will likely be later than February 2009 — make sure you purchase a converter box with an analog pass-through feature.
How do I know if I need a converter box?
A converter box with an analog pass-through feature will allow your TV to receive both analog (the current broadcasting technology) and digital signals. With this feature, you'll have access to all your local stations until everyone switches over to digital.
Coupon-eligible boxes offering the analog pass-through feature are available now. For the most up-to-date list, visit dtv2009.gov.
You can buy a converter box with an analog pass-through feature using one of the $40 coupons from the federal government. Order my converter box coupon.
