Yes Jeff, I am sure there will be a few out there with TV sets that will all of a suddenly go out at midnight on that date. No biggie though. I really doubt very much of any disasters in the works as some are predicting. The U.S. government has in the works, millions of dollars set aside for the general public who are receiving over-the-air broadcast for up to two credit coupons with a value of 40 bucks a piece, so they can purchase the top of the set converter boxes so their TV sets will be ready for any change. This is suppose to be in effect sometime next year. This kinda reminds me of the Y2K scare. If you were ready, no big deal, even if you were not ready, not a lot happened. I predict yes, there will be a few who does not keep up with the news and will all of a suddenly lose their precious TV signals, but over all I think everything will be grand on Tuesday morning, Tuesday, February 17, 2009, when those folks without Satellite or cable wake up to their morning coffee and find their over the air TV is still showing the Early Show. I have to agree with Jeff, how will the U.S. government coordinate every single over-the-air broadcaster to switch over at the same time? Maybe cause lots of them are already ready? What do you think will happen?
