This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable 

antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February 17, 

2009.  Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital 

programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still 

broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older 

television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. 

For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government 

coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please 

check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.
