§ 15.124 DTV transition notices by manufacturers of televisions and
related devices.
(a) Television receivers and related devices manufactured between April
1, 2009, and June 30, 2009, must include notices about the digital
television (DTV) transition. Related devices covered by this
requirement: All television broadcast receivers as defined in
§ 15.3(w); TV interface devices as defined in § 15.3(y); devices that
record and/or display signals received from television broadcast
receivers; and set-top boxes available for sale at retail that receive
video programming provided by multi-channel video programming
distributors.
(b) The notices required under paragraph (a) of this section must:
(1) Be in clear and conspicuous print;
(2) Convey at least the following information about the DTV transition:
(i) The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be
complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television stations may
switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that
receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to
continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find
out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to
digital-only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should 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.
(ii) Information about the DTV transition is available from your local
television stations, http://www.DTV.gov , or 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY
1-888-TELL-FCC), and from http://www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 (TTY
1-877-530-2634) for information about subsidized coupons for
digital-to-analog converter boxes; and
(3) Explain clearly what effect, if any, the DTV transition will have
on the use of the receiver or related device, including any limitations
or requirements associated with connecting a related device to a DTV
receiver.
(c) This notice requirement applies to all responsible parties, as
defined in § 2.909 of this chapter.
