This phase-in plan is intended to allow manufacturers to realize increasing economies of scale with

production volume, so that digital tuner costs will be lower when the tuners are required in smaller sets.

On July 1, 2004, the tuner requirement was applied to 50% of large sets (screen sizes 36” and larger), and

July 1, 2005, the tuner requirement was applied to all large sets and to 50% of mid-size sets (25”- 36”).

Beginning March 1, 2006, DTV tuners were required in all mid-size sets as well. The final step in the

phase-in plan went into effect March 1, 2007 and now requires that all new TV sets in all size ranges and

other TV receivers include a DTV tuner beginning March 1, 2007.

If I want a new TV, will I have to buy a High Definition TV (HDTV) to watch digital broadcast

television after the transition?

No. It is important to understand that the DTV transition is a transition from analog broadcasting to digital

broadcasting. It is not a transition from analog broadcasting to High Definition broadcasting. Digital

broadcasting allows for High Definition broadcasts, but High Definition is not required, and you do not

need to buy a HDTV to watch digital TV. A Standard Definition DTV (which is simply a TV with an

internal digital tuner), or a digital-to-analog converter box hooked to an analog TV, is all that is required

to continue watching over-the-air broadcast television. Digital broadcast television includes Standard

Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats. Back to index

How can I be sure that I am buying a digital TV (DTV)?

By law all television reception devices (including TVs, VCRs, DVRs, etc.) imported into the U.S. or

shipped in interstate commerce must now 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 informing the consumer that it’s an analog-only television. Back to index

How do I know if I already have a digital TV (DTV)?

Many DTVs and digital television equipment will have labels or markings on them, or statements in the

informational materials that came with them, to indicate that they contain digital tuners. These labels or

markings may contain the words “Integrated Digital Tuner,” “Digital Tuner Built-In,” “Digital Receiver,”

or “Digital Tuner,” “DTV,” “ATSC,” or “HDTV” (High Definition television). If your television

equipment contains any of these labels or markings, you should be able to view digital over-the-air

programming without the need for a digital-to-analog converter box.

What is the difference between “Integrated” DTVs and DTV or HDTV “Monitors”?

An Integrated DTV set is a television with a built-in digital tuner (also referred to as “a DTV”). A digital

tuner is also sometimes called a DTV decoder or DTV receiver. If you have an Integrated DTV, you will

not need any additional equipment, with the exception of a broadcast antenna (either a rooftop antenna or

“rabbit ears” connected to the set) to receive over-the-air digital broadcast programming. Integrated DTVs

can also receive and display analog broadcast programming, so you can continue watching analog

broadcasts.
