Today is the day! Midnight tonight, T minus 13 hours and counting here in the West Coast until analog TV goes off. Looking at the news reports, there is still a large number of people who are not ready! They either don't care, don't watch TV or are simply totally in the dark. From the San...

We're two weeks away from the switch over and it looks like it's going to happen. My local stations have been upping the announcements and have news stories about what to do and what the switch is about for the less technically minded. I am seeing some stories about cable providers taking...

Here's a link to an LA Times article about it. Obama asks Congress to delay digital TV switch* | Technology | Los Angeles Times Seems the main issues is the Government wasn't able to fully educate the public (elderly, poor and rural areas) and running out of money for the coupons.
