Ugh..... It's TV for gods sake, not life support.
It's not like people will die if they can't switchover their rabbit ears immediately.
Jeesh, time to step into the 21st century already.

Anyone who says there hasn't been enough exposure is out of their mind. I live in Canada and I have been bombarded with commercials and announcements day after day for the past year and a half regarding the cutoff on my american channels. Not to mention its even been in our canadian papers saying that we have our own cutoff planned for 2011. But seriously, if you own a television and have yet to learn about the cutoff, you obviously wouldn't mind losing the analog signal since its obvious your not watching anything.

I have very very bad news for you. Some people in the good old USA DO count TV as a life support system! OMG you would NOT believe the calls I've heard at the cable TV call center when the cable goes out.
I firmly believe there WILL be suicides attributed to the shut down of analog TV.

While I'm sure some people overreact when the cable goes out, there is the important difference that you are PAYING for cable and a lot at that. So when it's not working, they should be calling the company.
