[Email] DTV conversion - Today is D Day!

[Lu Vencl]

Hopefully most of you are aware that last night all analog TV transmitters
have been shut down and many stations retuned.

The Federal Communications Commission office in Miami has asked me to remind
all residence of Waterford Homes about the importance of rescanning your TV
tuners / decoders today as many channels will not come in because of the
retuning of some channels last night at midnight.

If all of your TV' are attached to Cable, U-Verse , or satellite, you will
NOT be affected.

For those of you that have portable TV's in another room with rabbit ears,
or you take advantage of HD signals off the air with an antenna this affects
you.

Speaking of which, if you have a portable TV in your hurricane kit, it will
no longer work without a converter. 

Radio Shack has the new portable TV's with built in DTV tuners.. More about
this in a future communication.

For more information, you can go to http://www.dtv.gov/ for details..

If you would like to email me regarding your question, I will do my best to
get back to you.

 

Also for those of you that might cherish the last moments of an analog shut
down, I have uploaded a video that might be of interest to you.

It is WPTV's last moments transmitting on the air in analog. I happen to
know the Engineer and I also had done some work at Ch 5 years ago so we both
had a tear or two on Friday morning to see history go by.
