Today is the long-awaited, much-promoted, highly-debated DTV switchover date. Or it was until Congress moved the official date to June 12th to give Americans more time to prepare their TV sets. Regardless, about 40 percent of the nation’s TV stations — 681 of them — have made the switch to digital. Most of those are in small to mid-sized markets, as the network owned-and-operated stations are waiting until June. In other words, the switch to digital is even more confusing than ever.

June 12th, not July 12th.
Proving even I’m confused. Fixed.
Was an interesting experience for us last night. Switched from UHF to VHF transmission, and viewers actually got the whole rescan part… but we’re finding reception issues when it comes to rabbit ears. We’re thinking many people may have fallen for the deception giving by the “HDTV” antennas.
It’s dumb, isn’t it?
