Help With Your Converter Box

Currently, there is a lot of information out there right now regarding the Digital Transition occuring in February, and rightly so. Almost every media and grassroots opportunity has been targeted as a means by which to educate the public on the transition. There's a good chance that unless you live under a rock or have completely removed yourself from the influence of the media, you're aware it is taking place and know what you have to do. For many, that involves purchasing a digital converter box, but do you know what to do after you receive it?

This past Monday, on September 8 at noon, the town of Wilmington, North Carolina switched over to digital signals ahead of the February deadline. The small town was selected to test the effects of the switch and the readiness of the television viewers. What they found out was that few people knew what to do with the converter boxes after they received them. The result? The FCC was flooded with calls, and the town's firefighters were called to go door-to-door assisting residents, helping them get their boxes hooked up and even checked their smoke detectors. This is great for a small town, but what happens when large metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or Chicago convert? Something tells me the firefighter plan won't work in these areas.

To help you out, we've posted the basic converter box installation instructions on AllAmericanDirect.com. There are only four steps and they are incredibly easy, even for the electronically challenged. Click here to view all the steps.

If you still haven't purchased your converter box yet, you can find those too on AllAmericanDirect.com and even use your government coupons to buy online. Don't wait too long and miss out on your favorite shows! Visit us online today and find everything you need to be prepared for the digital transition.
