There has been much publicity about the upcoming switch from analog to digital broadcast television due to take place on Feb. 17, 2009. Known as the DTV transition, this switch may be the most significant advancement in television since color TV was introduced. Naturally, many people have questions about what to expect and how this change will affect them.
The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., will host a program about the upcoming nationwide DTV broadcasting transition due to take effect Feb. 17, 2009. The one-hour informational program will be held on Monday, Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the Library's Lee Room.
Laura Allard, a representative from RadioShack, will be on hand to discuss what the DTV transition will involve, how it will affect your TV set, and the options available to you in making the switch. The US Congress has created the DTV Converter Box Coupon Program to help ease the financial burden some people may face in making the transition. Participants in the library's information program will have an opportunity to apply for the converter box coupon with assistance from the program facilitator if necessary.
The upcoming transition has the potential to impact not only television sets, but VCR and DVD players as well. Cable and satellite subscribers may also be impacted, making an antenna necessary to tune into some local stations. This informational program will address many unique challenges customers may encounter.
The program is free and no registration is necessary. Call 262.636.9217 or visit racinelibrary.info and rplinfo.blogspot.com for current information about library programs.
