Broadcasters across Colorado are about to test whether you are ready for the switch to digital television.
The Colorado Broadcasters Association is sponsoring tests on 18 television stations.
On Wednesday this week, KKTV will test your TV to see if you're ready to go digital in 2009. Watch KKTV during Jeopardy beginning at 6:30 for the test message to appear before the first commercial break. During those test times, a message will appear on your screen saying your TV either passed or failed.
"It gives everyone an opportunity to test their TV sets, digital converters and check antenna systems to make sure they will be able to receive digital TV," said Mark Doan, Director of Engineering at KKTV.
The nationwide switch from analog signals to digital will occur in exactly three months on Feb. 17.
TVs already equipped for digital transmissions won't experience interruption during the test. But viewers whose TVs aren't digital-ready will see a message warning them about their TV.
People who rely on antennas or rabbit ears may need a digital tuner. Call 1-888-388-5675 for more information. Click on the link below to learn more and request a coupon for your converter box.
