Goodbye Analog TV - Hello Digital - The Deadline is Finally here !!

Ok as you all should know by now today is June 12, 2009 the last day for analog signal to be sent to our TVs. Time for the Digital switch - a process thats been 18 years in the making. Yea thats right that long and yet it's still amazing people still don't get that this day is here and the transition is happening. There has been a lot of buzz and advertisement both in print on on TV, so if you are one of those so called 2.8 Million who are going to be left out of the loop. I say shame on you. There is no excuse after having been told for years that this day was imminent. The idea that those who are poor, disabled, non -English speaking or live in rural places are going to suffer from the switch is just an excuse for being unprepared. 18 years and more importantly the past 7 years we have been bombarded with warnings in many languages. There were even coupons handed over to help in the purchase of converter boxes. So for those left behind with no signal come Saturday June 13, 2009 it's your own fault. So stop the complaining and go buy a new TV, converter box or subscribe to cable or satellite service. Why? cause there is no going back once the switch is on. So good luck in whatever route you take but know this -- There are a lot of great things about going digital and in my opinion this evolutionary step on how we watch TV has been long overdue. ;-)
