The Digital TV Transition hasn’t been hurting for attention over the last year. Not only is the federally funded converter box coupon program surely one of the most well-publicized government subsidies ever created (think about it—have you ever seen prime-time TV commercials advertising Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants?), but recently Congress decided it hadn’t been publicized enough, and extended the deadline for broadcasters to switch to entirely digital feeds from February 17 to June 12.

Still, if you’re among the non-cable subscribers who hurried to meet the original deadline, chances are good you’re already enjoying a wider range of programming and much improved picture quality on your old TV sets. And it occurred to DCist recently that those of our readers who have cable or satellite subscriptions on all their TV sets and never had to bother with the transition may have no idea what they’re missing.

After the jump, you’ll find our take on the channels currently widely available over the free, digital airwaves within the District. If you’re out in Virginia and Maryland and are getting different free channels, let us know about them in the comments.
