Digital Television

The station's digital channel is multiplexed:

Like many other HD channels on the local Time Warner Cable system, KRGV-DT can be picked up on basic cable by connecting the cable directly into an HDTV with a built-in QAM tuner, channel 100.1

KRGV will begin to carry the Retro Television Network on a digital signal sometime in 2008.
