said by tschmidt:That is a great link. However from my own experience - see other post in this forum it does not capture the total impact of what is going on both with over the air broadcast and TV industry in general.
I think there are largely two groups of folks out there. Those who are completely unaware and those who know about the change and are trying to figure out impact.
For the first group not sure what if anything can be done. Transition has been planned for years, and date has been pushed out. So if you haven't heard about it by now either you are not affected or you will become aware on Feb 17 2009.

I think some of that 1st group(probably mostly elderly and not on internet at all) can be addressed by family and friends. My plus 80 yr old parents have cable TV on the main TV in the house. But they have 2 old portable TVs in other rooms that just get over the air analog signals. I will take care of getting them the vouchers and buying the 2 digital/analog converter boxes for them. I suspect many of those in the 1st group you mentioned will get similar assistance.
