Effective 6/13/09 all broadcast television stations in the US completed a Federally mandated Digital Transition:
All full power broadcast television stations (those who use public airwaves to transmit programming via antenna) changed their signal from an analog format to a digital format to free airwaves for emergency responders and expanded picture/sound quality and interactive services.  This change allowed the universal transmission of a new digital format (high definition picture and sound). In order to receive this signal, you need a high-definition television that has a special tuner and a high-definition antenna to receive the signal through public airwaves OR connection to a provider who will transmit this signal (e.g. cable company, satellite company, telecommunications company (e.g. AT&T, Verizon) through their receiver/tuners).  For additional information, visit www.dtv.gov.

Comcast's Digital Migration:
In the area served by the Birmingham Area Cable Board (Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Franklin, and Bingham Farms) as well as Bloomfield and Bloomfield Hills, Comcast has made a business initiative to enhance their network by delivering digital entertainment to current Standard Cable subscribers.  For additional information, visit www.comcast.com/digitalnow or call 1-877-634-4434.
