Getting NBC Over-The-Air
I mentioned previously that with the digital transition, NBC broadcasts from the Cheboygan tower no longer reach Neebish Island.
Well... there is good news. I have heard from a source in the industry, that TV 7&4 engineers have been working on moving to a digital channel on the Goetzville broadcast towers by bouncing the signal from Cheboygan via microwave.
So, if TV 7&4 isn't available over-the-air yet, it should be soon. Most of the digital converters have a "scan for new channels" option in the menu system and this is what you'll want to try.
Next time I am on the Island I'll give it a try myself.
