NOVA
Hunt for the Supertwister
WEDNESDAY, MAY 22 @ 7:00pPM 12:00AM
On May 3, 1999, one of the most powerful tornadoes ever recorded carved a path of complete destruction near Oklahoma City. To scientists, the supertwister held sobering lessons about the future for rapidly expanding cities in tornado-threatened areas. Most tornadoes form suddenly and with little warning. But now meteorologists are on the verge of a breakthrough that may solve the puzzle of how these killer storms spawn and where they are likely to strike. NOVA follows stormchasers as they probe the tornado's deadly secrets. Find out more »

CELEBRATING 4-H WEEK
On Sunday, October 7 at 1:00pm, Meagher County Public Television will kick off National 4-H week with a retrospective of shows produced by the Meager County 4-H TV/Video Project. Each day at 1:00pm throughout the week, MCPTV, Channel 26 will show selected works from this on-going and talented production group.
In 1992, Vid-Kid Productions was created by 4-H’er Jolene Jacobs (Johnson) and a group of enterprising young 4-H’ers in cooperation with MCPTV. During the first six years, Vid-Kids produced the “4-H Magazine” as well as the first funding tape for the Montana 4-H Foundation. As the youth progressed in their production skills they became known across the nation. Vid-Kids have traveled from New York City to Hawaii and many places in between taping conferences and working with other groups to produce public service announcements and quality 4-H programming.

NATURE
THE WHITE LIONS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 22 @ 9:00PM
White lions are among the rarest and most treasured animals in the world. Rarer still is their survival in the wild. Their white color stands out in Africa’s wild bush country, increasing their risk of being targeted and killed by rival predators and marauding adult male lions. Used primarily for communication and camouflage, color is one of nature’s most dependable defenses. White lions lose the ability to blend in to their surroundings, exposing them to other predators as well as jeopardizing their own ability to hunt. Find out more »

HOW TO GO DIGITAL
Going Digital is easy! If you have a a new television that is digital you may need a roof top antenna.
Use an Antenna that Provides Good Reception of All Channels
- Most existing antennas used by consumers will provide good reception of DTV signals. (Before making any changes, try your existing antenna first to see of it allows you to receive all the stations you normally watch.)
- For watching DTV signals, you will need an antenna that provides good reception of both VHF signals (channels 2-13) and UHF signals (channels 14-51) to reliably receive all of the digital signals broadcast in your area.
Perform a Channel Scan
- Digital-to-analog converter boxes and digital televisions have a button, usually on the remote control, that is labeled “set-up” or “menu” or some similar term. Press that button to access the set-up menu.
Using the directional arrow buttons on your remote, scroll to the option that allows you to perform a “channel scan.” The channel scan will automatically search for digital broadcast channels that are available in your area. Consult the owner’s manual of your digital-to-analog converter box or digital television for detailed instructions on how to perform a channel scan for your device.
- Once the channel scan is complete, you will be able to tune to the digital channels received by your antenna.
- You should perform a channel scan periodically to check whether additional digital channels have become available.
