HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO KEEP WATCHING ALASKONE
We want to be sure every viewer comes with us into the digital age and we're ready to help you with the information you need so you don't lose AlaskaOne after Feb. 17, 2009. On that day, by law, we must pull the plug on analog broadcasting.

Here are the ways you can watch AlaskaOne's Digital TV signal:

Do you subscribe to a paid cable or satellite service?
If you get your TV from a cable or satellite provider, the company will likely see that you continue to get local stations including AlaskaOne. However it is recommended you contact your provider to confirm they are ready for the switch and no further action is needed.

Do you use an antenna?
If you receive over-the-air television programming via rabbit ears or other type of indoor or outdoor antenna, you have several choices:

1. Use a digital set-top converter box available through local and online retailers with your current TV and antenna. The federal government is making $40 coupons available to assist households in purchasing eligible converter boxes. For details and application information on the coupon program, click here or call 888-DTV-2009.

2. Purchase a new TV with a built-in digital tuner and use your current antenna. All new sets sold in the U.S. now include a digital tuner.

3. Subscribe to a cable or satellite service. Make sure to ask if you will still receive local channels, including AlaskaOne. Additional AlaskaOne "multicast" channels may not be available to all subscribers, so check with your provider before making your choice.
