As of June of 2008, Congress passed approval for the digital tv transition. The purpose of this was to free analog signals currently used for television stations for emergency vehicles, like police and ambulances to be able to communicate more effectively and efficiently during an emergency. You can still view television shows by doing one of the following:

1. Purchase a digital television (either standard or high definition SDTV or HDTV) and connect your antenna to that.

2. Purchase a digital to analog converter box and connect that to your analog tv and antenna.

3. Get cable or satellite service.

What is tv white noise?

White noise is also called "snow" and it looks like a snow storm on the screen. It is the result of an analog receiver not getting a signal and it can be compared to the hiss from a radio when it loses its signal. Modern televisions often suppresses the noise and digital televisions do not suffer from it at all.


Is snow a pronoun?

No, snow is a noun. It refers to frozen precipitation, or to the static that can appear on analog TV broadcasts.


I have my analog receiver hooked up properly but i can't get the main menu to show on tv all i get is snow on tv what do i need to do?

As of the DTV transition in June 2008, your tv and radio will no longer be able to receive analog signals of any kind. Some stations were running both analog and digital stations throughout the transition but now the only channels that are allowed to do so is public access stations (which run local programming, i.e. school events, etc.. NOT ABC, NBC, etc...) The only way for you to view programs now is to get a digital television, that includes standard definition (SDTV) and high definition (HDTV) with antenna, or you need to get a digital to analog converter box with antenna, or get cable or satellite service (cable companies are exempt from the transition but many cable companies have opted to switch to digital). If you have a digital tv (which most likely will have both an analog and digital tuner) or a converter box and you still see snow, then it either is not set up properly, or you do not have and antenna attached to it. Please keep in mind you do not need any sort of special antenna. What ever kind you have can be made to work with your set up. If you still need assistance please let me know. I was technical support specialist for the transition. Hope this helps.


Will my Satellite Receiver still work when there is heavy snow outside?

Some inclimate weather can cause satellite receiver interuption. If it is snowing heavily and the snow is building up on your satellite receiver it can cause the picture to be disrupted or cut off completely.


What is happening with TVs in 2009?

On February 17, 2009 most all of the analog TV transmitters will be shut off as the country migrates over to an all digital signal. If you don't have a digital tuner on your TV (or cable or a satellite receiver like DirecTV, Dish Network or something similar) all you'll get is snow on your screen. This applies only to the `over the air' television signals which require a receiving antenna to watch your local television stations.


Why does my TV has no picture only snow?

If you are using an analog TV, there are basically no more analog TV broadcasts other than a very few low power transmitters. From now on, you need a digital receiver. They can be obtained from electronic retailers for a few dollars and will allow you to receive digital broadcasts in the same way as analog broadcasts. Alternatively, you could use cable or a satellite service although these options will involve additional charges. The final option is to use an Internet based television receiver. AppleTV is one of several devices that may work for you. Most electronics stores will be able to tell you what options you have for your area but be aware that they will be keen to sell a solution to you. Consider their advice carefully but don't be pushed into an immediate purchase when you speak to them.
