DTV Transition & O-T-A Viewers

Along US Borders

QUICK FACTS

Some consumers living along the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada currently

watch analog television programming broadcast over-the-air by Mexican and Canadian

stations. Canadian TV stations will also transition from analog to digital broadcasting,

but not until August of 2011. Mexico has begun its transition and will complete it in

2021.

U.S. consumers living along the Canadian and Mexican borders are able to watch

television programming from Canadian or Mexican broadcast stations with an over-

the-air antenna, such as “rabbit ears” on their set or an antenna on their roof.

Because broadcast stations in Mexico and Canada will not complete their transition to

digital broadcasting at the same time as full-power U.S. stations, their broadcasts will

remain in analog after February 17, 2009, while full-power U.S. broadcast stations will

be available only in digital.

If you purchase a digital-to-analog converter box to watch digital broadcasts on an

analog TV and also wish to continue watching analog programming broadcast from

stations in either Mexico or Canada, you should purchase a converter box with "analog

pass-through" capability, which allows analog broadcast signals to pass through the

converter box to be tuned by your analog TV. Converter boxes with analog pass

through capability will also enable you to watch U.S. low-power and translator

television stations, most of which will continue to broadcast in analog after February

17, 2009.

More on Analog Pass-through Boxes:

If you purchase a digital-to-analog converter box without analog pass-through

capability, you may have to connect an “A/B switch” and/or a “signal splitter" to

bypass the box if you wish to view analog TV broadcasts. Check with the manufacturer

of the digital-to-analog converter box and your retailer if you need instructions on how

to connect the box to view broadcasts from both analog and digital stations.
