ok it is 2-29-09 and when i turned on my tv i could only get one cannel and it was disney channel which kinda sucks alot
-
What on earth are you talking about?
-
the digital transition my tv didnt work when i turned it on well i mean properly what i meant to say when is it or has it already happened
-
i'm not in USA but i've heard that you have to scan for the channels to get all of them again....
Correct me if i'm wrong though.......
-
he means the analog-digital conversion that happened in the US, they delayed it to a lil while ago, and if you dont have a digital converter box, or cable period, you cant watch broadcast television
-
That happened almost 3 weeks ago
-
oh well maybe my cable turned off in my house or somethings wong but when the people put together the house they did a real crapy job leaving big holes and marks on the wall but ill see ill try and reset my tv
-
what are you talking about!?!
-
this doesnt add up.... you say you are recieving the disney channel and thats it..... first things first, are you using an antenna to recieve your Television stations? or is it cable or satelite connection. for some reason i dont think the disney channel even transmits over the air?
The digital transistion that has just taken place several weeks ago only applies to people that use an antenna to recieve there telivision channels. if you use a satelite dish or cable company you will be unaffected, unless whoever provides your service needs their head examined and didnt transition properly(0.00001% chance of that, so dont go pointing fingers yet).
If you really are an antenna user, you can use your existing setup by purchasing a DTV converter box that will pluggin in between your antenna and telivision.(government offers coupons, but retail is ~$50) If you get an antenna that was designed for DTV broadcast you will be better off as well, rather then the old analog antenna.
I think you need to investigate your situation a little closer in order for us to help you. BTW poorly built houses dont have anything to do with your situation, if you get one channel at all the wiring is fine.
