Digital TV Conversion 

Did you know that in February of 2009 all "over the air" television signals will be converted to digital? This change from analog to digital will only affect your television reception if you are using an outdoor type of antenna (aerial) or a set of “rabbit ears”. If you have cable TV or satellite TV service you should not be affected by this change. If you have any questions please give us a call at 480-312-5600 or you can follow the link to the Federal Communications Commission’s website for further information.
