Tomorrow is February 17, the day that has been advertised (for forever) as the day that the switchover from analog to digital for TV signals. For the last several months (I would say 3 or more) there were constant reminders to be prepared for the switchover.
Get a converter box or buy new digital TV or get cable or satellite service to avoid this interruption in your TV service. The reminders increased in frequency as the days have gotten closer to February 17 then Congress decided they were going to move the transition back to sometime in June. “People aren’t ready and it is not fair to them.” For all of the people who didn’t prepare I imagine that they will now relax thinking they have plenty of time and then will run into the same problem as they had now. I sure hope that Congress doesn’t decide to extend it again.
Now I have to listen to change messages on all of the channels all over again, right? Wrong! Apparently there are some stations that are going to turn off their analog signal after all. So now I am hoping that they don’t have to advertise about the switchover.
To me I can’t wait until this whole thing is over, at least after that they won’t be selling analog sets anymore and after a little bit (about a year) the prices on most of this stuff should come down.
