More Questions Answered About Switch To Digital Television

A Consumer Reports Study showed 60 percent of people whose TVs will go black in February, still haven't taken action.

If you're sticking with your older TV instead of getting cable or satellite, you need to get a converter box to watch TV come February. WJAC's chief engineer Rob Abele showed us just how easy it is to hook up.

"What has to be done is that antenna has to be connected to the back of the set top box, where it's labled antenna in," said Abele.

The cable is then run from the box to the back of the TV.

"Then the TV would be tuned to Channel 3 or 4 to receive the signal from the box," said Abele.

Just like a new TV, you run a channel scan to find all the D-TV channels in your area. After that's done, Abele suggests, "pointing the digital antenna in the direction of the analog antenna."

To make sure that's done right, just check the signal strength under the main menu.

Here's three tips from the FCC if you are still having trouble getting the digital signal: 1. Double check your connections 2. Perform another channel scan 3. Adjust your antenna
