its primary digital channel in <a href="/wiki/480i" title="480i">480i</a> <a href="/wiki/Standard_definition" class="mw-redirect" title="Standard definition">standard definition</a>, making it one of the few network-affiliated stations in the United States that did not transmit an HD feed through its digital signal (internal promotions for the station's website and <a href="/wiki/Facebook" title="Facebook">Facebook</a> page that were produced during its MyNetworkTV affiliation were downconverted from <a href="/wiki/16:9" class="mw-redirect" title="16:9">16:9</a> to a <a

On March 10, 2014, exactly one month after the Chapman/Ion trust took ownership of the station, WRBU began carrying all five subchannel services carried by Ion Media on its Ion Television owned-and-operated stations; it also resulted in WRBU reuniting with HSN's over-the-air service, which Ion has carried on the DT5 feed of its stations since November 2013. On May 1, 2014, WRBU began transmitting its main feed in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high definition</a> in the network's standard <a href="/wiki/720p" title="720p">720p</a> format. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Analog-to-digital_conversion">Analog-to-digital conversion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=WRBU&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Analog-to-digital conversion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>WRBU shut down its analog signal, over <a href="/wiki/UHF" class="mw-redirect" title="UHF">UHF</a> channel 46, on January 21, 2009.
