The change from analog to digital will take place in September and viewers with older televisions will need to get the right equipment for the change. If you have a newer television set you should be able to continue to watch all your local stations in HD. If you have an older television set you will need a digital converter box. When the digital converter box is connected it will allow you to view the digital channel with your older television.
The cost of the converter box
is anywhere from $50 to $100 (you can find them here!
). The local stations in Canada are running television commercials to announce the change as per CRTC rules. These commercials are little misleading as many local stations are owned by cable and satellite companies. The commercials make it seem that you need a cable subscription to continue to watch over the air television.
In communities where a direct line of site is not possible you might lose the signal. The technology that makes digital signals work requires your antenna
to point towards the broadcast tower.
As Canadians prepare for the digital change over this site will feature information to help those who are not sure what will be required to continue watching over the air television.
