DTV Switch Deadline Nearing
Television turns digital in a month and a half on June 12. Several people wanted to make sure they are DTV ready, so they spent their Saturday studying at the library. TV viewers still not clear on the digital transition had a chance to get all their questions answered. Sheryl O'Bannon was one of many who came to a help session at the main library. One of her questions was a common one: scanning to find channels on her converter box.
DTV Community Outreach Volunteer Tarrin McGhee tried to help people like O'Bannon get ready for the big switch. That's why McGhee and other volunteers demonstrated the process. One of the biggest misconceptions, and it's probably the most common one, is that you need an HDTV antenna or you need some high-dollar fancy antenna, and you really don't."
If you watch television using an antenna, you need a digital TV set or just a converter box. Some people have analog TV and some people have digital TV. So, the people who have digital TV, they aren't aware that they don't really have to do anything." Stay tuned to FOX13 for more updates on future clinic dates and other ways you can get assistance.
