Yes, most likely. Just because the transmission system is going digital, I've seen or heard nothing from the Federal Communications Commission stating that this requirement would be modified or dropped. It's part of the EAN's system, or Emergency Action Notification system and is more critical to have now than ever. Especially with the treats of terrorist attacks, not to mention weather related issues. There's a lot of requirements for being part of the EAN's system and too many to discuss here, but having it is yet another tool we have at our disposal to help protect ourselves in a time of emergency. Personally, I'd hate to see it go away.

Do crystal radio sets still work now that everything has gone digital?

Yes because only television signals from some stations have gone digital. Crystal radios will pick up stations broadcasting on the A.M. broadcast band (540k to 1600K). These signals are amplitude modulated and crystal radios pick these up really well. You could also use them for Shortwave and pick up some stations. Am, FM and shortwave are still not digital.


When you set the tv to get stations fron an analog receiver all you get is snow on the tv why?

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.


With digital adapter only get some stations why?

DTV sometime needs a better antenna than the old analog TVs. A few stations did not switch to DTV and are still Analog like LPTV which is Low Power TV.


Do you have to have a digital converter box?

No, you should not need a digital converter box anymore (unless you are still using an old analog television). Most digital televisions sold are capable of receiving both digital signals and the few remaining analog signals (permitted for very low power stations only at this time).


Do people use aerial in Ireland?

If you are referring to the switch off of broadcasting of television stations on analog in October 2012, then televisions in Ireland no longer are able to get channels on an aerial, as everything is now on digital. People now have to get their stations over a cable. Radios can still get broadcasts by aerial.If you are referring to Ariel, the washing powder, then yes it is used in Ireland.If you are referring to the switch off of broadcasting of television stations on analog in October 2012, then televisions in Ireland no longer are able to get channels on an aerial, as everything is now on digital.

If tv stations now broadcast a digital signal why do cable providers still only send an analog signal?

So they can charge more for the better video and sound. Greed.


Do televisions still have antennas?

Do police forces now use digital breathalyzers?

Many police stations have implemented digital breathalyzers, but there are still a few who use the older types. The digital breathalyzers are much more accurate however. Most police agencies use digitial breathalyzers. These are more accurate than the older ones.


If some stations are digital and some aren't am I going to still be able to get all the channels?

Some converter boxes have an 'Analog pass through' feature allowing for just that. All stations will be required to broadcast in digital as of June. While this date has been pushed back a few times, this new deadline seems fairly solid. Get the converter box, you will love the new stations and services. There is also rebates so the boxes cost almost nothing. The truth is that some translators and some low power TV Stations will be transmitting NTSC Analog after June 12, 2009 so with a NTSC Analog TV Tuner and an ATSC Digital TV Tuner you will receive all channels.


What station on the radio plays insane clown posse?

Today's radio stations often have very limited playlists and unless a group has some hit records, they will not receive airplay. Unfortunately, Insane Clown Posse, while still popular with its fans, has not had many hits, and they have also been involved in a number of controversies. The chances are that some college stations or public radio stations might still play their music, but most top-40 stations do not. There are still YouTube videos of them and also some digital downloads, but you probably do not hear their music on the average radio station these days.
