Starting in February 2009 Local channels such as 6, 10, 13, etc. will be switching their analog, over the air broadcast signals to a digital format.
If you currently receive local channels from Dish Network or DirecTV, you will NOT be affected by this transition.
If you currently have Dish Network or DirecTV and do not receive the local channels from satellite, please call us to upgrade your equipment (518)731-1100.
You will be affected by this transition to digital if you receive local channels on an outdoor antenna or rabbit ears and do not have a new television with a digital antenna tuner.
In order to continue to receive your local channels you can either…
- Call us to upgrade to Dish Network or DirecTV. Packages with 40 plus channels including local channels start at Only $24.99 per month.
Or
- You can purchase a digital tuner box for each television in your house that does not have a digital tuner. The government is providing up to two $40 coupons per household that apply early. Once you receive your coupons by mail, call Hi-Tech Advisers to trade your coupons for converter boxes. To apply for these coupons please go to https://www.dtv2009.gov
