all of my stations have already switched to digital and it is great ota and cable company also sends the locals down every wire unencrypted too.

i live in the test market and we made the switch in october. i think america is ready, no big effin deal. there are only like 8% getting signal ota so this wont even affect 92 % of the people. the stations though are having more of a hard time getting equipment up.

when you all do switch i highly recommend the hdhomerun from silicondust if you want tv on your network.
