I was reading this article on the WSOC website about the pending change from analog television signal to a digital one starting on February 17th, 2009. That's only a couple of months away. After that date, local television states will only broadcast a digital signal. At least that's what's planned for here in the United States.
The cool thing is that the government is printing up these coupons where you can basically get a converter box for a small amount of money. Neat, right? Never mind that they're spending tax money to support businesses and all that.
Here's the problem. The change over occurs on February 17th, right? As I read the article, the coupons won't be going out until the converter boxes are in stores. No problem with that but the boxes themselves aren't due until "the end of February or first of March."
Anyone else concerned about the boxes not being available until after the change over occurs?
