NASA TV soon to go digital

The analog satellite signal used to broadcast feeds and other programming on NASA Television will soon become digital. Digital technology will enable NASA to concurrently broadcast multiple channels of broadcast-quality video as well as interactive content and other information, all from one satellite transponder.

Access to NASA TV content will be impacted by this upgrade in technology, and the ability to see the programming provided by the Agency will be affected unless viewers have the proper equipment to convert the new digital signal.
