Congress is giving the nation four more months to get ready for the switch to digital TV. The House voted Wednesday to postpone the changeover until June 12th in an effort to give roughly 6.5 million Americans time to buy digital converters.

The bill now heads to President Obama who is expected to sign it.

The digital revolution in Omaha still starts in less than two weeks. The 211 call center in the United Way of the Midlands building is gearing up for a flood of calls. "211 is the portal to information regarding the digital television conversion," says Jamie Moore.

In Omaha the conversion takes place on the 17th, but no matter when you transition to digital television there will be some problems and that's where call centers like 211 come in handy. They can give individuals help and they can get volunteers to come to your home and hook up your television.

WOWT general manager Charlie Peterson says over the past several years every move made by Channel 6 and the other Omaha stations has been toward broadcasting a digital signal this month.

"Ever since May of 2002 when it was mandated that we would need to transition to digital television, the February 17th date has been the culmination and the goal of that full transition."

Thanks to Moore and her operators, viewers will not be left out of the digital revolution. "We actually have volunteers that will go out and help with installation so 211 is a portal to the information, so with 211 you get connected and you get answers."

And you can receive a digital signal months before other parts of the country. All of the broadcast stations in Omaha are working as one to make the transition as smooth as possible and have been from the start.

Digital tests and surveys show the vast majority of the Omaha market is ready for the switch.
