We covered a lot on this week’s show, but our primary focus was the DTV and the new proposal to split APS into two districts. In case you missed any of the show, not to worry, you can watch it all, or rewatch part, by clicking play on the player below:

Also, I just noticed today at the Taylor Ranch Community Center that you can sign up to have someone come install your converter box for free. I don’t know much more about it at this time, but I wil lmake a phone call on Monday to get more details. My hope is that other community centers are doing the same.

We are also still getting questions about where to get the converter boxes. Most electronics stores should have the boxes. Check your local Best Buy, Circuit City, or even Wal-Mart of Sam’s club.

And, as a special treat this week, and for those of you missing Margaret Montoya. She managed to make it on N.Y. TV within her first few weeks in the Big Apple! Way to go Profesora!

First, the latest on the DTV delay drama that we’ve been following all week long. Basically, time is running out on a possible delay of the DTV transition to June. As already mentioned, the House voted down the delay earlier this week. It can still come back as an emergency bill, but if that’s the case it would go to committee, which means lawmakers can start tacking on amendments left and right. Once that happens, any bill that is approved then has to go over the Senate for approval, thereby starting the process all over again. I guess it’s just a waiting game at this time. I got an email from Andrea Quijada with the New Mexico Media Literacy Project, with her reaction to the House’s vote:

“I am disappointed that the House did not support President Obama’s request for the June 12 delay in the transition. The request for the delay was based in the reality that over 6 million people, who rely on television as a source of free information, will be denied access to that source on February 17. I remain hopeful that the House will reintroduce the bill next week, and pass it with public support.”

Also, we want to pass along this information about new Representative Ben Ray Lujan’s efforts to get northern New Mexicans ready for the big transition.
