I know what you mean, but some people just don't get it or procrastinate. Heck, I procrastinated until late December to get my converter boxes and early January to buy and hook up a larger (not largest) rooftop antenna (to replace the tiny VHF-only one my dad installed back in the 70's). For most of us in Hawaii, we'll be seeing more of the PSAs from now until February 17, when the rest of the USA (mainland) make the switch.
Then someone at FCC is not doing a good job of promoting it, which will make it worse because they are already in the process of selling "real estate" of frequencies for wireless service providers (both cell phone and broadband). That and frustrating first responders' clear use of emergency communications frequencies.
Yeah, many local stations want to shut off their analog transmitters. I just hope they would unite and make a grassroot campaign to get their viewers prepared for the switch.
