I'm just hoping that the digital TV transition will be less messy than eventual transition to IPv6 when IPv4 addresses run out.
I on the other hand hope it is a big, horrible mess. No TV, boxes breaking. I hope everything that CAN go wrong WILL go wrong!

Actually that might not be such a mess. Before I left my previous employer (a cable MSO) there was a good amount of headway into planning for IPv6 transitions and its gotten much easier thanks to the transition technologies finally being put into place. In case you aren't aware RFC1752 actually contains some transition specific criteria to help providers during the "mixed network" phase of the transition -- Forum Posts:7500
