Dear Informal Education Community,

On July 1, 2005 NASA TV converted from an analog to digital signal. 
 The conversion was successful.  With this change, NASA TV now has 
four digital channels.  They are NASA Public Service, NASA Education 
Services, NASA Media Services, and NASA Mission Operations (Internal 
Only).  The switch to a digital signal occurred shortly before the 
Deep Impact Mission and Return to Flight.  A decision was made to 
have the same programming broadcast simultaneously on every channel 
during these two exciting missions.  This provides NASA TV the 
opportunity to further test its new digital system.  After the 
landing of STS-114 there will be a gradual transition to varying 
content for each of the channels.  Once the transition is complete, a 
broadcast schedule will be posted on the NASA Portal.
