Representatives from the Federal Communications Commission and local television broadcasters will be hosting DTV clinics across the state next week to educate consumers about what they need to do now to get ready for the digital television transition.
Consumers are welcome to come see how to set up a converter box, to learn to adjust their antennas for best reception, and even to bring in their own converter boxes for on-the-spot troubleshooting.
Staff can also answer questions about recent changes to the converter box coupon program, which is now accepting applications from consumers whose coupons expired. The program will accept coupon applications until July 31.
The sessions will be held at locations across the state:
