WLFI will conduct a second DTV test at 7:30p.m. Monday. If you are getting ready to watch Jeopardy and you see this bulletin your TV is not ready for the transition. If you don't notice any change in programming you are all set. If you have questions, antenna customers can call the TV station at 463-1800. COMCAST customers need to call 1-800-COMCAST. There will be more testing during different times of the day.During our first test in December, WLFI was flooded with calls from people who saw the notice that their TV was not DTV ready. The problem for many was with their cable company. But COMCAST executives say they made some improvements and changes this week, so all of their cable customers are ready for the transition.
To add to the confusion, President-Elect Obama is asking Congress to delay the planned February 17th transition to digital television broadcasting. He believes too many people are not ready. In addition, the Commerce Department has run out of money for coupons that subsidize the cost of converter boxes. Stay tuned!
