New online DTV resource launches

 More DTV information

A new web site offers another way for people in the Twin Cities to get their questions answered about the June 12 digital television transition.

Local DTV assistance centers, along with the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund, launched www.TwinCitiesDTV2009.com.

By visiting the site, Twin Cities residents can find links to apply for their government-issued $40 DTV converter box coupons, buy their converter box and find information on how to install a converter box.

The website also lists contact information for local DTV Assistance Centers and upcoming DTV community events.
