The National Association of Broadcasters sends word that it will be visiting several locations in the Dallas area over the next week to explain the 2009 switch from analog to digital over-the-air television broadcasts.
The association says that 21 percent of Texas households rely on over-the-air broadcast programming on analog televisions, and those are the people whose sets will go dark on February 17, 2009 unless they buy a digital-to-analog converter, purchase a digital television, or start subscribing to cable or satellite TV service.
There will be informational kiosks at each event, literature, games and NAB personnel will be on hand to answer questions.
But the best part about the roadshow is the 20-foot television that’s traveling with it.
Dubbed the “DTV Trekker,” the gigantic display will be a beacon to all those searching for digital TV enlightenment.
