IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DIGITAL TV TRANSITION

On February 17, 2009, TV stations will cease broadcasting in analog and switch to all-digital signals.  Analog TV sets not connected to cable, satellite, or other pay-TV service (in other words TVs that use an antenna or rabbit ears for over-the-air TV) will need a digital converter box after  February 17, 2009.  Analong-only TVs connected to Dakota Central's television service will continue to work after the transition and will not need a converter box.  Analog-only TVs also should continue to work as before to receive low-power, Class A or translator TV stations and with gaming consoles, VCR's, DVD players and similar products.  The federal government is offering discount coupons for viewers who need to purchase converter boxes for analog TV sets.  More information on the DTV transition is available at www.DTV.gov or by contacting Dakota Central at 1-800-771-0974 or www.daktel.com.  For discount coupons, visit www.dtv2009.gov or call 1-888-DTV-2009     (1-888-388-2009).
