What is the switch to digital TV?
The Government of Canada and the CRTC mandated that over-the-air television transmission switch from analogue to digital in many parts of Canada on August 31, 2011.
If you subscribe to cable or satellite to watch TV, the switch to digital over-the-air transmission won't affect you.
The vast majority of Canadians will not be affected by the change. That's because 93% of Canadians today receive their TV signals by cable or satellite.
The switch to digital affects only television viewers who receive their TV signals using an outdoor antenna or "rabbit ears". If you're one of those viewers, you may need either a digital converter box or a television with a built-in digital tuner in order to continue watching over-the-air television.
