Do I need to buy anything special for the Transition to Digital Television?
If you have a satellite dish you're all set.
If you have cable you'll be ok as long as the cable TV line is intact.
If there is any break in the line or loss of power, your cable will be out until their crews fix the problem.

What about power and cable company outages?
Maine Link recommends purchasing one Digital converter if you have Cable TV. In an emergency like the Ice Storm of '98 where some Cable TV customers went without TV for up to two months, if you have a generator and a digital converter, you would still get your local over the air channels.
If you have a satellite dish and a generator you would have your full service, pay-per views and movie stations if you purchased them. Click here for Maine Link's current Dish Network specials.

If I need a converter is there someone who could come out and help me install one?
Yes, Maine Links trained technicians are ready to come to your home and assist you in the installation. Pricing is based on where you live, if you have already purchased your digital converter(s), and the number of converters you would like to have installed.

I just bought a new TV; will I need a digital converter?
