When the transition to the new digital television was thrown out there, what was you initial reaction to the change? Do you think everyone is ready to get a new tv if they don't have one? Are you ready?
I have nothing against the choice to own digital television, any more than the choice to upgrade to a brand new computer when yours gets old.
However, forcing it on people, to me, is un-american. but that's just my opinion.
My initial thought was 'oh great, first the Y2K bug now this!' (remember how many who heard of it panicked and bought 'Year-2000 compliant' appliances, TVs, VCR,s CARS?
Digital television didn't bother me at all when it was first announced. I was ready to make the transition months before it was about the air. Since they delayed the actual release of the new television, I have more time to buy a few move tvs in my house.
