No Warning
The President has asked for and the Senate has agreed to a delay in the conversion to digital TV. I'm reminded of this dialogue from The Simpsons' "A Tale Of Two Springfields":
Homer: (writes "939" on hand) I hate this new area code. Like I don't have enough to remember already. (looks at his other hand, which has "Lenny = white, Carl = black") Don't you miss the old 636 (consults hand) Carl?
Carl: I'm not sure which one's better. The "6" is closer to the "3" so you got convenience there, but the "9" has less to do with Satan, which is a plus in this religious world of ours.
Homer: What really burns me up is they didn't give us one word of warning.
Carl: What do you mean? They ran those TV commercials about it, and that big radio campaign.
Lenny: Don't forget the leaflets they dropped from the Space Shuttle, and the two weeks we all spent at area code camp.
Homer: Not a single word of warning.

What about "The Wackness"?
Sorry-comment above meant to be to movie post. On the other hand I've seen lots of advertising about the switchover and while I understand rabbit ears will no longer be any good, I still couldn't tell what the hell is actually going on. Digital what excatly?
It means no matter how you get it, all TV information will be sent digitally from now on.
