    Digital switch over...I guess not!

    Today was suppose to be the day for the national switch to be thrown for digital broadcasting, doing away with analog.  All tv stations have been warning viewers for over 2 years now that this day was coming...so do whatever you had to do to make your home or business tv sets ready for the change.  There must have been expenses to all tv stations for all the mass warnings and scrolling on peoples tv's for over 2 years, but yet FOX has fallen into the minority trap again!  Fox admits "dozens" of people have called them and said they were not ready for the transition.  Dozens out of millions should not influence progress with something that has been discussed, advertized and engrained in us for over 2 years.  The fact of the matter is in June dozens still will not be ready, why?, APATHY!

    Please don't use the low income, or eldery excuse on this one.  If you saved $1 a month since the warnings started 2 years ago you could have bought a digital box, $5 a month and you could have had a new tv with digital tuner.

    BTW Fox, quit calling yourself the "DTV leader"...ya have to pull the plug on analog to be a Digital TV leader.

    I'm not happy and many in Montgomery Co., are not happy with their new converter boxes for the t.v. because it DOESN'T WORK HERE!
