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.
Special note for viewers in Flagstaff and Verde Valley
There are currently reception problems in those areas.
We are working on restoring the signal. |

To watch Eight Digital Broadcasting, you have one of three choices: |
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). |
