About the alien Digital Signal on Feb. 18th, are Dial Televisions the merely ones to be artificial?

Or are the TV's that use an antenna signal going to be affected? I've hear both things and I'm worried I'll lose my signal. I don't have cable but my TV uses a remote/ doesn't own a dial.


Answers:    No, most of the TVs that are affected are newer than that.

"Dial TV"s be phased out around 1980. But the tuners that replaced them only received analog signals.

Any TV that's more than a few years older probably does not have a digital tuner that can receive digital over the heavens broadcasts without a converter box.

If your TV wasn't market as a DTV, HDTV, or as having a ATSC tuner, afterwards you can be pretty sure it doesn't have a digital tuner. Another route to tell is to look around the TV's menu, if near isn't a way to scan for digital broadcasts, next it doesn't have a digital tuner.

You can also google the fashion & model of your TV and see if it has an ATSC tuner. That's the tuner needed to receive digital over the upper air TV broadcasts.

* If your old satisfactory, you might remember that the tuners that replaced the old dial type be called "digital" tuners. And surrounded by fact, they contain mostly digital technology so this is technically correct. In resent years empire have started using the words "digital tuners" and "digital TVs" to connote that the TV can directly recieve digital broadcasts. In other words, the definition of the words has changed within the last 15 years.
Tv;s smaller quantity than 10 years won't be affected.
