HERE IS THE SCRIPT FROM THE STORY THAT RAN ON 9/11 FURING THE 6PM NEWSCAST. TOTAL STORY WAS 4:05 MINUTES IN LENGTH.
IN TONIGHT'S CONTACT K-Y 3, THAT DIGITAL TELEVISION DEADLINE IS NEARING. CONTACT KY-3'S CARA RESTELLI SHOWS US WHICH CONVERTER BOXES DID THE BEST IN CONSUMER REPORTS TESTING. CONSUMER REPORTS JUST TESTED DOZENS OF THE CONVERTER BOXES TO HELP YOU FIND A GOOD ONE. MARY LINKOWSKI WAS STUNNED BACK IN DECEMBER WHEN SHE LEARNED HER ANALOG TV WOULD GO BLACK IN FEBRUARY 2009. TERRY LINKOWSKI SAID "I DON'T BELIEVE IT." SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PAY FOR CABLE OR SATELLITE, SO HER SON'S GETTING HER SOMETHING THAT COSTS A LOT LESS. TERRY LINKOWSKI SAID "HE PROMISED THAT HE WOULD GET ME ONE OF THOSE CONVERTER BOXES." CONSUMER REPORTS HAS TESTED TWO DOZEN CONVERTER BOXES COSTING FROM AROUND 50 DOLLARS TO ABOUT 80. BUT THEY'LL COST YOU LESS IF YOU GET A 40-DOLLAR COUPON FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THE TESTS FOUND ALL THE BOXES PRODUCED PICTURE QUALITY RANGING FROM ACCEPTABLE TO OUTSTANDING. ONE OF THE BEST BOXES IS THE TIVAX STB-T9, WHICH COSTS JUST 10 DOLLARS WITH THE GOVERNMENT COUPON. BUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S ONE OF THE BEST CONVERTER BOXES TESTED, BE AWARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS CAN AFFECT PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING WHERE YOU LIVE, THE LOCAL TERRAIN, THE NUMBER OF STATIONS THAT ARE BROADCASTING IN YOUR AREA, SIGNAL STRENGTH, AND THE TYPE OF ANTENNA THAT YOU'RE USING. DIGITAL CONVERTER BOXES ALL COME WITH THE SAME BASIC FEATURES, INCLUDING A REMOTE CONTROL. JIM WILLCOX SAID "BUT SOME BOXES ALSO HAVE BUTTONS ON THE UNIT ITSELF SO YOU CAN OPERATE THEM IN CASE YOU LOSE THE REMOTE." SOME ALSO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM GUIDE WITH DETAILS ABOUT UPCOMING SHOWS. AND YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK FOR ONE THAT LETS YOU ADJUST THE CLOSED CAPTIONING TO MAKE IT BIGGER AND EASIER TO READ. BE AWARE, CONVERTER BOXES DON'T WORK WITH AN OLD-FASHIONED RABBIT EAR ANTENNA. YOU NEED AN ANTENNA THAT RECEIVES BOTH U-H-F AND V-H-F SIGNALS.
