DTV Transition Notice
After June 12th, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will
require a converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts originating from a
United States broadcaster with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital
broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power,
Class A or translator television stations, cable, satellite TV services, gaming consoles,
VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
Information about the DTV transition is available from www.DTV.gov or 1-888-CALL-
FCC, and from www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information about subsidized
coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
This notice does not affect any programming received by this satellite set-top box. Your
digital satellite receiver will continue to receive the digital satellite signals and provide the
programming for display on both Analog Televisions and new DTV compatible monitors
with composite, Component YUV or S-Video input connections.
This notice complies with Parts 15 and 54 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations:
15.124 DTV Transition Notices by Manufacturers of Televisions and Related Devices.
Important Installation Notice: The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has ruled that local government zoning and
homeowner’s associations may not prevent the installation of
satellite antennas one meter (39”) or smaller in diameter within
a resident’s private use area, unless legitimate safety restrictions
such as re codes are in effect.
