East Lansing, MI | If they weren't able to get it right in NC.... We are in a heap of trouble if the NC test didn't go well. There was such a concentrated effort in the area, far above what has been going on in the rest of the nation, that every person, mom, dad, grandpa, and dog should have known was was going on.
In our market (Lansing, MI), there has been limited, confusing advertising that has happened, and that's about it. In fact, Comcast has had more advertising on the OTA channels about "If you are a Comcast customer, you have nothing to worry about". The transition commericials that are played in this area have some retired baseball announcer who can't articulate the real issue. That coupled with the poor audio and video it makes it very hard to understand. People are only getting the Comcast message, of "you have nothing to worry about". |

kudos:2 | Actually - I thought the Wilmington test went pretty well ! Pretty much expected results.
One item they need to take away from it is that people MAY need to augment / replace their current antennas and they need to advertise that. |

Sorry, couldn't help playing devil's advocate on that one.  |

Your assuming that crapble is available.
The overwhelming majority of OTA users are users who can not get crapble, and chose not to get DBS or are blocked from DBS reception due to physical obstacles like trees etc..
While there may be OTA users who have the option for crapble they are most definately the minority.
I don't dispute that DBS could gain quite a lot from ths, crapble's gain will be much lower since OTA users tend to be:
Rural areas that crapble thinks is too costly to cover...Hmmm...guess that gamble is about to be a loser. 
Yes costly to install, but in the long run....oh thats right the idiot analysts can't see past the next quarter... well look what thats getting you ..... could have got all those rural customers and offered them HSI too.... FAIL. MASSIVE FAIL!
