I live near wilmington and they have been very proactive in helping people make the switch. They did it with things like booths at the beaches, mailing out flyers, phone calls, etc. They didn't just announce it on tv and hope people made the necessary changes. They also involved the council on aging to make sure the older people understood what needed to be done. I don't think it will be a difficult change for people in the area.
One thing I see repeatedly is people thinking the switch to digital means switching to HDTV. It doesn't. The requirement is the station broadcast in digital, they can continue to use regular SD broadcasting. Some stations cannot afford to switch to HD and will continue to send all signals in SD. Digital is just a different way to get it to your tv. |
