Eight switched to all-digital format
April 29, 2009
Analog broadcasts of Eight
in Maricopa and Pinal counties will no longer be available.
TVs across Arizona that receive Eight via a translator will continue to receive an analog
signal until we upgrade the translators in your area.

1.
Keep your analog TV and purchase a digital-to-analog converter box to receive digital broadcasting with an antenna. |
2.
Keep your analog TV and subscribe to a Pay TV service to receive digital broadcasts. |
3.
Purchase a new digital television with a digital tuner (a tuner is a device that receives broadcast signals). |
