If anyone reading this article watches
television, please raise your hand. Hmm, well
that seems like everyone, with the exception of that
guy way in the back with his nose buried in the
book. In that case, I guess you all know
about the major change hitting the airways this
month No, not Conan taking over
the Tonight Show or the new season of “I’m a
celebrity, get me out of here” (doesn’t being
on that show by definition, mean that you are no
longer actually a celebrity?) What I am talking
about is the real-true-final date for the switch to
Digital Television. If you remember, in
a previous article I wrote about the date being
delayed from earlier this year.
For those with cable, this is less of an issue
than the rabbit –eared among us, but it still needs
some attention. One thing I learned recently
(of interest to us in the hurricane-swept south) is
that unless your battery powered televisions are DTV
ready, they will only pick up lovely static when you
need them the most. I suggest taking a look at
the DTV.gov sometime before June 12th to see if and
how this switch will affect you and your television
watching. Maybe the guy with the book has the
best idea after all.
Oh, wait a second, it’s an electronic book. Never
mind.
