Digital TV truly is better. For many, the transition will be easy and for others it may require some effort, a little resourcefulness, and being a wise consumer.
We know many of you have been preparing for the DTV conversion. Iowa Public Television has travelled the state making presentations and answering questions. We also have gone live on the air to answer your questions.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Watch the 3-part video from our November 2008 broadcast, or look here for answers to some of the most common questions and answers we've been fielding. We also encourage you to call us during normal business hours at 1-800-532-1290.
