With the DTV transition just days away, take a minute to visit the FCC's DTV hub, a one-stop shop offering tons of information and advice.

Plug in your zip code and find out how many DTV stations operate in your area now and how many will be up and running after June 12. Get a listing of stations with channel number assignments and phone numbers, with an indication of their broadcast strength.

You can also find local support, including in-home installers and walk-in centers. The online troubleshooting guide may help you resolve problems on your own. Incidentally, the coupon offer doesn't end on June 12; you have until July 31 to request $40 subsidy coupons to defray the cost of a converter box.

The government’s call centers (1-888-CALL-FCC, 1-888-225-5322) are likely to be flooded with calls on the day of the transition and the first few days afterward, so try out your setup now and get your problems solved before June 12. —Eileen McCooey
