Hours left 'till TV's switch to digital

Ya know, I'm completely unprepared. And I'm neither too poor to afford a converter box or too ignorant to know what one does. I simply don't care: we don't ever watch TV. The last time we had the TV tuned to a broadcast station was during the blizzard last February to check traffic conditions. I could've gotten the exact same info off the Net had I been so inclined. And I'm so pissed off over the Colts and the stadium tax they've imposed that I can no longer in good conscience watch football and support thieves.

So go digital, broadcast TV. I don't give a rat's ass.

In less than 24 hours all full-power broadcast TV stations in the U.S. will flip a switch to stop broadcasting their analog TV signals and will only broadcast TV signals in digital. And for millions who are unprepared, it could mean lights out on their favorite TV shows.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
