DTV CHANGEOVER!!!! well it DOES NOT APPLY IF YOUR RECEIVE TV SIGNALS THROUGH TRANSLATORS!!

they are commonly referred to as Broadcast Relay Station..
so the major majority of Alaska doesn't need a digital TV convertor box.
The TV has a ATSC tuner and I had recently got a new antenna from The Home Depot and put it up..it's compatible with DTV signals..so when the change does happen,I won't have to worry about a thing.
