Digital dilemma

AUBURN - In 2005, Congress passed legislation requiring free local television stations to turn off their analog signals by Feb. 17, 2009 and begin broadcasting exclusively in digital.

The digital format will allow stations several advantages, such as broadcasting with higher quality picture and sound, but this change will have an impact on those that receive them over the air.

To help viewers understand these changes and what options are available, Seymour Library hosted two talks on Tuesday by WSTM-WSTQ's Jim Marco and Laura Hand.
