Re: This day.

I'm betting the stations will run ads and even scrolls near the end to warn people. If you get caught out, well, either 1) you don't watch hardly any TV anyway, so no big deal, or 2) You're an idiot.

We're gonna be bombarded with ads about the TV switchover... not to mention retailers pushing new HDTV's will hit you everywhere you turn to "upgrade". There will probably be newspaper, radio, and even billboards and government public service announcements too.

A lot of people may not know about it NOW, but I think before February 2009 that will change.
