FiOS TV Customers Cruise Through Digital Transition

 

As local television stations nationwide made the final transition from analog to all-digital transmissions and migrated systems to new equipment, Verizon engineers worked to assure a smooth transition for Verizon FiOS TV customers.

Video feeds from more than 270 local stations into Verizon's all-fiber-optic, all-digital network were all completed and cross-checked by early Saturday (June 13). Verizon planners and technicians worked with each local station to assure that the station's feeds into the Verizon network were correct and that the new digital signals were being received by Verizon's equipment.

There are various methods for local station feeds to enter the Verizon network. Verizon carefully planned and prepared for each station's situation, and worked with the stations on timing.  As a result, the process was simplified, and everything was ready ahead of time.

 
 
About the DTV Transition
 

As of June 12, 2009, analog-only TVs require a converter box to receive full-power over-the-air TV broadcasts with an antenna.

Analog-only TVs should also continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

Information about obtaining subsidized coupons for the government's converter box program is available:
