One Week To Go
Posted by Peter on June 5, 2009
Unless the government steps in again to mess things up, by this time next Friday you will no longer be able to receive over the air analog broadcasts.
The long planned for DTV conversion was supposed to happen in February, but at the last minute the government decided too many people weren’t ready and postponed it until June 12, 2009.
Never mind the fact that the change didn’t force broadcasters to wait until next week to shut off their analog transmitters. In fact many stations have already shut off their analog broadcasts.
The FCC has created what is actually a pretty useful tool to help you locate digital signals in your area. Enter your zip code or street address and it will show you station signal strengths in your area and exactly where that broadcaster’s transmitter it located.
