Re: Unaware

It is everywhere, on prime time TV and shows I watch.

I do not think it is the fact it is scrolling, posted everywhere, and notice is given. I think the problem is they do not understand. What do they do now? You expect seniors to run out, buy a box, and hook it up when there TV probably has not been touched in 10-20 years? NO!

And there are coupons, the only people that took advantage of those where mid-lower age people because they understood.

So annoy the hell out of me by scrolling that crap on EVERY show I watch is not going to help 70 year olds.

What would help is people actually taking action and doing it for them. This requires people to help including there grandchildren, children, neighbors, somebody to actually talk to them and try to help.

What they need to do, the last, say, 2 weeks or so, they should letterbox the screen and state that the signal will go away in two weeks. When the signals stop, they should continue for about 30 days and show just barker screens that state analog TV is gone, and flash a help line to tell them how/where to get boxes or maybe a service where they can pay X amount of a tech to install a box. Also, scroll information on what happened and why the signals are gone.

By now, if people aren't aware, they have to be overly medicated to which NOTHING will work to inform them in time.
