Digital television and high definition
CJEO-TV's pre-launch logo
As of January 2009, CJEO-TV has not yet begun broadcasting in digital.
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on August 31, 2011 [3], CJEO-TV is required to begin digital broadcasts on its current assigned channel number, 44. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display CJEO-TV's virtual channel as 56.1.
