The Enid area currently is unable to receive OETA-The Oklahoma Network’s digital signal.
Viewers still can watch the statewide public television network via its analog signal. The network’s digital signal is blocked by a local low-power analog station.
According to Mark Norman, OETA deputy director of technology, Enid area residents can continue to watch OETA’s analog signal until Feb. 17, 2009, when stations will shut off their analog signals and broadcast only digitally. At that point, the digital signal will be free of interruptions from the low-power station.
After Feb. 17, 2009, in order to receive the digital signals, which include OETA and OETA OKLA (the network’s specialty digital channel), over-the-air viewers will need to purchase a digital TV set or converter box. The federal government is providing up to two $40 converter box coupons per household. Call (888) DTV-2009 or visit www.dtv2009.gov to register for the coupons. With the coupon, boxes cost as low as $10 a piece.
