When analog goes dark on June 12, 2009, will it be as anticlimactic as Y2k or will weird stuff happen?
Will antenna sales and installations surge, as Zip Express expects?
Will people cancel cable and satellite subscriptions en masse? About 58% of consumers say they would likely drop their service if they could get free over-the-air HDTV.
Will some 2.8 million unprepared consumers flock to A/V retailers to buy new sets when the reality of DTV Day sets in?
Will manufacturers and A/V dealers be flooded with customer service calls?
Will the DTV Transition ads finally cease?!
In the Comments section below, let us know how your day is going!
Meanwhile, we’re headed to our cabin in the remote town of Brandon, Minn., where we will have no choice but to watch Season 4 of Weeds on a Netflix DVD.
he government has extended the date for conversion to digital television to June 12, 2008 because there are still 6.5 million homes that have yet to purchase a conversion box, according to a January 22, 2009 survey conducted by Nielsen. Nevertheless, upwards of 375 stations are still planning on making the switch on the original date. Check your local listings.
This means that old-fashioned TVs (those with analog-only tuners) will need to be connected to a digital-to-analog converter box or replaced by a new TV with a built-in digital tuner..Wound First Aid

I have had no TV signal since the change. I have a Haier flatscreen that I thought woudl be OK but I still cannot find out whether or not it has an internal tuner. Neither the manufacturer or dealer can confirm either way.
Right now I am so fed up with this we are going to try and give up TV altogether and see how it goes. We already gave up cable due to costs and terrible programming and this DTV changeover is the last straw.
