FCC Staffers Going Shopping in Wilmington

With the transition to digital-only television broadcasting in Wilmington (NC) less than four months away, Federal Communications Commission staffers were at retail stores over the weekend to mark "100 Days to Digital" and inform customers of what they need to do to get ready. There will be DTV demonstrations and a place to sign up for the DTV-to-analog government-subsidy coupons that can be used for converter boxes that will allow viewers with analog-only TV sets and no cable or satellite service to continue to receive full-power signals. There was no word back from the FCC at press time on whether there would be analog pass-through converter boxes available at the stores.
