On February 17, 2009 - We go all digital in TV Signal!
All television stations will be broadcasting in digital format. Your old analog signal
television will not work with the new digital signal. You will need a new digital TV
converter box which will change the digital signal to an analog format for your old
analog TV. The Federal Communications Commission is providing up to two $40 coupons
that you apply towards a new converter box. These coupons are supposed to become
available in February 2008. You will need the converter box only if your analog
television gets its signal from an old-fashioned roof-top antenna. All others
(cable,satellite and antenna) will automatically convert their signals to digital. Watch your papers for more
information on this subject or phone 1-888-225-5322. You can also go to the following
websites for information: www.wisconsinhdbroadcasting.com - www.wjfw.com -

Probable target dates for our planned trip to Branson, Missouri. To

you think this is a trip that you might like to take, please let us know by the October
8, 2008 PrimeTimers regular meeting. We already have one bus filled and the second one
half full. We try to book 3 shows a day. Call 479-6310 if you are interested.
