As we reported last month, many TV stations will be discontinuing analog broadcasts before the final cutoff date of June 12. Well, another 84 stations just did so. Many are PBS and independent broadcasters, but some network affiliates are among those that pulled the switch early.

Most stations that still offer analog signals are already broadcasting in digital as well, so you can (and should!) start receiving digital TV now if you haven't already done so. You might run into some problems, so it would be smart to find out sooner rather than later. This way, you'll have time to iron out the wrinkles before digital is the only game in town.

Don't freak out if you can't get the digital version of a station you've always received in analog. Some stations that now transmit both analog and digital signals will be upping the strength of their digital broadcasts when they stop the analog feed. So it's entirely possible you'll get more stations, or stronger reception, at that time. Some broadcasters may also be switching frequencies.

The bottom line: Be sure to rescan for channels on June 12. It wouldn't hurt to do so now, either, since some of your local stations may have made such changes already.
