DTV Hidden Camera Investigation: Part 2
Font Size:

The switch to all Digital TV is getting closer, but there's still a lot of confusion about what you have to do to get ready.

Are TV retailers, cable and satellite companies adding to it, or do they have their facts straight?

In part one of our hidden camera investigation yesterday, we found that all of the area retailers we spoke to did a good job of giving customers accurate information, and presenting the options.

Here in part two, we checked to see if the same holds true for local cable and satellite companies.

Will they try to tell us we need their service, or a more expensive package to continue to get TV?
