Converter for Digital TV Reception Now Available

On February 17, 2009, all television signals will be switched to a digital broadcast signal.  Beginning, February 18, 2009, if you have a television set that receives it over the air programming with antennas, you will no longer get a picture.  These sets will require a converter box to pickup a television signal.  Televisions that are hooked up to a cable or satellite broadcasting system will not need a converter box.

          Why the switch? Under a law passed by Congress in 2005, all free local broadcasters are required to turn off their analog channels and broadcast exclusively in the digital format.  February 17, 2009 is D-Day.

          What is Digital Television (DTV) anyway?  DTV is a new type of broadcasting that produces a dramatically clearer picture and sound.  DTV can also offer multiple program choices and better service to significantly enhance closed captioning.  DTV will also enable broadcasters to provide several channels of programming at once (multicasting) and will free up the traditional analog channels to be used for public safety uses by police and fire services. 

          As part of the switch to the digital system, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration is making $ 40.00 coupons available to person who need them.

          The converter boxes are expected to cost between $ 50 and $ 70 each and will be available at most of the nation’s major electronics stores.  More than 33 million coupons are being made available to the general public. Two coupons per household have been allocated for the switch.

          Seniors and persons in any age group that need converter coupons can obtain them in several ways.

1)    If you have access to a computer you can apply by logging on towww.dtv2009.gov.

2)    You can call the 24 hour hot line to request an application at  1-888-388-2009 then mail the coupon application to P.O. Box 2000, Portland, OR  97208-2000

According to the Neilsen Corporation, approximately 14.3 million of the 113 million television sets will need a converter box.

 

North Kingstown Senior Services would like to thank the following individuals for their generous donations:

In memory of Ken Timmins: North Kingstown Stamp Club

In memory of Ken Timmins: Gertrude Place

Trip Participants: Many individuals have asked about the policy of tipping drivers on day trips and waitstaff at restaurants. Tips are not included in the cost of the trip; the Town of North Kingstown’s policy prohibits tipping of drivers.  If you would like on an individual basis to tip the driver, an envelope will be passed around by the chaperone on the bus. This donation is by choice.  The chaperone will be more than happy to collect the donations and give them to the driver. 
At restaurants, an 18% gratuity is already included in the price of the meal; therefore, it is not necessary to tip the waitstaff.
