The turnover to digital and warnings have been going on for several years, people did not listen.

Now what about in June? These same people still will say, we had no idea, we are going to lose tv, we are on a fixed income. Well news for ya buddy, we are all on "FIXED INCOMES". And we all had to roll with the times. This has nothing to do with being selfish, it has to do with spectrum to be used for a different purpose that will benifit far more then those who don't feel like getting a converter box.

They say this is going to effect anywhere from 20 to 40 million households, I really would like some proof of this more then speculation.

I agree, this transition has already been delayed several times. An additional delay will only make it easier for a case to be made for additional delays, and so on and so on. The world will have moved on to IPTV over the air before we have eliminated analog TV and reclaimed the bandwidth.

JUST SAY NO!

Yes, the warnings have been going for several years, but I was under the impression that this was more of an issue of the government being backed up with unsent converter box coupons

I'm sure there is some truth to that, then again if people did nothing in 18 months or longer, then wait till December or January to get their coupon (or whatever its called) its not only the governments fault. God forbid somebody takes on any personal responsibility.
