Digital TV Information Sessions

RadioShack will host educational sessions for library patrons in the coming weeks:

• Sunday, November 16 at 2:00 pm at Main Library
• Saturday, December 6 at 3:30 pm at Shawnee Branch Library (in English and Spanish)

Included in these sessions will be information about why the digital television transition is occurring, the benefits digital television offers television viewers, what people need to do in order to continue receiving over-the-air television broadcasts after the conversion occurs, and how to apply for up to two $40 government coupons per household to help reduce the costs of obtaining a digital converter box. RadioShack’s education outreach will also include a demonstration on how to successfully set up a digital converter box to an analog television set.

RadioShack Corporation and the American Library Association are embarking on a nationwide initiative to help educate the public about the Digital Television (DTV) Transition set to begin in all 50 states and Puerto Rico on Feb. 17, 2009.
