READY OR NOT - DIGITALS HERE!

Tomorrow will make a new beginning for the television viewer when all television stations in the U.S. will begin broadcasting digitally. If you have satellite or cable television you will not be affected, however if you have been receiving your television signal using an indoor/outdoor antenna you may not be able to receive the signal if you TV is not digital ready.

The federal government has been issuing forty-dollar coupons to the public for free towards the purchase of a converter box for non-digital televisions. The converter box runs about fifty-dollars at most retailers who sell electronic equipment.

Today, KRWG TV at NMSU will begin broadcasting their digital signal a day before the require start date. This will be a great opportunity to check your TV if it is digital ready and you are able to view KRWG programming.

The federal government reasoning for the new conversion to digital is that it will free up more frequencies for emergency services.

If you have questions regarding the new change go www.dtv.gov.
