Hurricane Season 2009 Equals June 12th DTV Disaster
Hurricane season officially begins June 1st, but the onslaught of rain, winds and light tornadoes occurring almost daily in south Florida serve as a warning for all to get prepared. This year's hurricane season is different because after June 12th you will not be able to use rabbit ears for your regular TV or portable analog TV in the event you lose your cable or satellite service. How will you get the life saving information you will need during a storm?
Boynton Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 29, 2009 -- Hurricane season officially begins June 1st, but the onslaught of rain, winds and light tornadoes occurring almost daily in south Florida serve as a warning for all to get prepared. This year's hurricane season is different because after June 12th you will not be able to use rabbit ears for your regular TV or portable analog TV in the event you lose your cable or satellite service. How will you get the life saving information you will need during a storm?
Getting ready for the digital conversion is a huge undertaking, especially with the added need to prepare for a possible catastrophic weather event such as a hurricane. It is the responsibility of weather agencies and government officials to inform us to be prepared for these yearly storms. FreeTVsignal is taking that responsibility a step further by informing everyone how not to lose their TV signal. The company will set up at booth 527 at this year's 'Storm Prep Expo' May 30-31, at the Miami Convention Center. Over 20,000 attendees are expected and the staff at freeTVsignal is looking forward to the opportunity to educate visitors to its booth about affordable alternatives to portable HDTV's and digital converter boxes. FreeTVsignal will be available to answer DTV disaster preparedness questions, demonstrate how to use your converter boxes and to help people sign up for free government coupons to redeem free converter boxes.
Most people think they have to replace their portable analog TV's with an expensive HDTV; however during these difficult economic times, we want the public to know there is no need to pay upwards of $300 for a portable HDTV. FreeTVsignal is offering a free converter box that you can use in case your cable or satellite goes out during a storm. Also, freeTVsignal is the only distributor to offer a DTV disaster kit that attaches a battery operated converter box to an old analog portable TV.
The 2009 hurricane season is projected to be filled with activity. Colorado State University has predicted 14 named storms, 7 of those storms are expected to be hurricanes and 3 of those 7 are forecast to be intense hurricanes. Intense hurricanes are classified as registering 3 or higher on the Saffi/Simpson scale. June 12th, the FCC deadline to convert all U.S. television transmissions from analog to digital, is vastly approaching. Visit: www.freeTVsignal.com to order your DTV Disaster Preparedness Kit before supplies run out. Non-digital portable TVs will not work without a converter box after this date.
"Radio can tell you what's going on but television can show you what's going on," says freeTVsignal's Matt Bymaster. "This kit is something everyone should have in their closets to know that it will be available during the time they most need it. The last thing we want people to worry about during an emergency is how to get critical information should their cable or satellite services get interrupted during or after a storm."
