Yikes! I knew it was bad, but this bad?
"40% of Americans said they had never heard of the digital television transition and another 43% said they were only somewhat aware"
"Almost half of those surveyed did not know the differences between the current analog television signals and digital"
"There are 250 million televisions already in consumers' homes and 68% of those surveyed did not know they would need a converter box to receive over-the-air digital signals."
"GAO said visits to retailers discovered staff overestimating how much digital content was available and misstating what was needed to receive digital signals." (gosh!
