To check on KBDI's digital service in your area, please read the section below that best describes how you receive your TV programming: 
Over the Air:
- Viewers living northeast of downtown Boulder who currently receive us on Channel 12 already have our three digital channels available. They will need to re-scan their digital converter or TV tuner. (HINT: Some viewers find they need to re-scan twice!)
- For viewers living in our Boulder translator area that have received our programming on chanel 11, we plan tohave KBDI digital channels 12.1, 12.1 and 12.3 available to you by late 2010. In the meantime our analog channel 11 will continue to be available.
Why the delay? KBDI had initially projected that we would complete the digital conversion for channel 11 in Boulder by the end of 2009. This has been delayed after several studies showed that by trelocating our translator from our current broadcast site to a site with higher elevation wse would significantly improve and expand our coverage area to include Boulder-Longmont-Louisville locations that previously had a weak signal or no signal. As a result of our decision to relocate the translator site, we need additional time to complete negotiations and secure county and FCC approvals. Although we regret the delay, we believe that it will provide long-term benefits to our Boulder-Longmont area viewers.
 Do you need a special converter box?
Yes. Since you live in an area where television signals are broadcast from a translator, you will need a converter box with an analog pass-through feature.
This special converter box will allow your TV to receive both analog (the current broadcasting technology) and digital signals. With this feature, you'll have access to all your local stations until everyone switches over to digital. 
Cable:
- KBDI digital channel 12.1 is available now on Comcast.
- KBDI's other two digital channels, 12.2 (The Documentary Channel) and 12.3 (MHz Worldview) are not yet provided by Comcast.
Satellite:
- DirecTV carries KBDI's primary digital channel and MHz Worldview; the DirecTV channel guide lists these channels as 12.1 and 12.2, respectively. (The Documentary Channel is not provided.)
- DISH carries only the KBDI primary channel; the DISH guide lists the channel as channel 12.
FYI: Colorado Public Television continues to work with Comcast, DirecTV and DISH Network to secure agreements in which they each will carry all three of our digital multicast channels -- our flagship channel 12.1 as well as The Documentary Channel and MHz Worldview.
We urge those of you that receive us on Comcast, DirecTV or DISH Network to let them know you are interested in receiving the full complement of KBDI’s digital channels.
