In the remaining 45 days, building owners and property managers who have not yet adjusted the system must make arrangements as soon as possible to avoid failure to complete the system adjustment in time.
Property managers should provide assistance to people with special needs
After completing the adjustment of the public antenna system, the owner and the property manager should follow the instructions of the contractor to notify the residents whether they need to search for their digital TV receiving equipment again.
Property managers should pay special attention to the elderly, ethnic minorities and people with special needs in the households, and provide them with appropriate assistance when necessary.
