Having Trouble With Your TV?

As of June 12, 2009, all of Raleigh-Durham's TV stations had made the switch from analog to digital broadcasting. This change was a welcome one for those of us who rely on broadcast TV (as opposed to cable or satellite TV) because the new digital channels offer crystal clear pictures and more programming.

However, there have been a few glitches during the switch. For example, many viewers in the Raleigh-Durham area are having trouble tuning in WUNC-TV (Channel 4, our local PBS affiliate) because the station's digital antenna, which is located in Chatham County, is too weak to transmit its signal throughout the Triangle.

Viewers have also had complaints about Raleigh's ABC-11, which is broadcasting on the VHF frequency, meaning that viewers with UHF antennas aren’t able to tune in to their favorite ABC programming.

If you're having problems tuning into your favorite channels now that they've gone digital, you can contact the stations directly or can get advice from the National Broadcasters Association at 1-888-388-2009.
