tv-snowThe DTV transition happens this Friday and there are still a bunch of households not ready according to a Nielson survey. It’s good to see that my grandparents aren’t the only old folks that get it as that segment is the most ready for the switch. However, there are still 2.8 million homes not ready with minorities leading the unprepared.

We’re trying to do our part by providing FAQ and tips. Unfortunately we are probably preaching to the choir. Still, the switch happens this Friday so do your part and ensure that your friends and family are ready.

  • At this point, its safe to assume people that haven’t switched, don’t care very much one way or the other (or can’t afford to switch).

  • Wait a sec – what’s all this nonsense about a switch? Besides everything, what’s wrong with TV. I surely hope Hulu’s server are ready for the onslaught on Saturday

  • Oh and despite all the notifications and planning, this is going to be the greatest screw up in American history since Vietnam. This will lead to mass panic and destruction, resulting in the end of life as we know it. Have a nice day all.

  • LOL well said Paul G – I think the whole point is ’stiff bickies’ – we need to get ready, I don’t think if we had of waited any longer it would have made a difference. People don’t like change it is just a fact of life, even if it is for greener pastures!
