Re: Unaware

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.
