DTV Transition Presentation
In February of 2009, all television stations will cease broadcasting their analog television service and rely exclusively on their digital television (DTV) services. Viewers that subscribe to either cable or satellite services will not see a loss of service as both cable and satellite providers have already stated that they will substitute a station's primary DTV service for the station's analog channel on the cable or satellite system. However, viewers that rely on conventional antenna will have to take some proactive steps to ensure that they will receive service after the end of analog television. Iowa Public television brings in one of their experts, to talk about the digital TV transition that occurs on Feb. 17, 2009. Free and open to the public. This class is to raise awareness, educate and answer questions.
