KBDI's digital service is available in the Colorado Springs / Pueblo area. Please read the section below that best describes how you receive your TV programming:

Over the Air:

On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 KBDI Channel 12 began over-the-air transmission of our digital signal in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo areas. 

“The digital conversion of our Cheyenne Mountain translator has greatly expanded our coverage area along the southern Front Range", according to Mark Seewald, KBDI Director of Technical Services. "While all viewers should see a significant improvement in signal strength, Pueblo viewers who either had a weak signal or no signal before should be able to acquire our three digital channels with no problem".

In order to acquire our digital channels, viewers will need to re-scan their converter box or HDTV tuner.

With the new digital signal, viewers will see all three KBDI channels. The broadcast frequency has moved from UHF Channel 32 to a new permanent frequency on UHF Channel 31. The on-screen program guide will display the channels as 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3 once the frequency is acquired.

Cable:

• KBDI digital channel 12.1 is available now on Comcast in Colorado Springs. We are working to bring this channel to Pueblo Comcast customers in the near future.
• KBDI digital channels 12.2 (The Documentary Channel) and 12.3 (MHz Worldview) are not yet provided by Comcast.

Satellite:

• DirecTV carries KBDI's primary channel and MHz Worldview; the DirecTV channel guide lists these as 12.1 and 12.2, respectively.  DirecTV does not yet carry KBDI's Documentary Channel.
• DISH Network currently carries only the prim,ary KBDI channel.  The DISH channel guide lists it as channel 12.  

FYI: Colorado Public Television continues to work with cable companies, DirecTV and DISH Network to secure agreements in which they each will carry all three of our digital channels (12.1, 12.2 and 12.3). 

We urge those of you that receive us via cable, DirecTV or DISH Network to let them know you are interested in receiving the full complement of KBDI’s digital channels.
