Over-the-air TV channels change

If you tuned into the over-the-air broadcasts of KTWO (the Casper ABC affiliate) or KTVQ (the Billings CBS affiliate) last night, you likely ran into some problems.

That's because both stations switched from analog to digital signals yesterday (Thursday) and are now broadcasting on new channels.

Assuming you've got a TV with a digital tuner or an older TV with a digital-to-analog converter box, picking up the new digital channels should be as simple as rescanning. You need either a converter box or a digital tuner to watch over-the-air digital television broadcasts, along with an antenna.

The changes don't effect folks watching the stations on cable or satellite.

We'll have a bit more information in next week's Tribune.
