CH 40 Analog was shut down Sun nite

[Jim Hall]

One of the problems I have encountered in helping people is that they don't
understand that most of the stations are moving to the UHF band, even if
their virtual channel number remains the same. So the old long pole rabbit
ears won't work and you need an antenna with a good UHF element. I am
wondering how my reception of WHDH-TV will be once they move from UHF back
to VHF. I imagine I will have to extend the VHF poles on the antenna (which
at the moment I have reduced to minimum).

A story in today's Herald says on next Tue. there will be a "test" so
people can see whether their TV (with rabbit ears/housetop antenna,
etc.) is digital ready or not (or whatever)--
from 7 am to 5 pm, those without digital sets/converters/cable or sat.
will see regular
programming on Ch 2. Those without will see a program telling them
what they can do.
Other stations will do "tests" that day too.

Next Tue is "DTV" day
