DTV Transition and University of Iowa Cable

Over-the-air broadcast television completed the transition analog to digital signals in June 2009. The DTV transition applies only to television received over the air with an antenna and will have no impact on services offered by University of Iowa Cable. We have already taken precautions so that University of Iowa Cable service will not be disrupted. The DTV transition will not affect University of Iowa Cable services in any way. You will not need to change or update equipment in any way in order to continue to receive the cable service you have today.

For viewers who have or are planning to get a digital television, we are already broadcasting DTV / HDTV signals. We use the "HDTV Cable" standard (also known as 256QAM). All of our DTV channels are free and broadcast "in the clear" without encryption. See our full channel lineup for more details.
