We're moments away here in the NG timezone from switching to full digital television at midnight!

Does this excite you? Do you expect a big change? Y2k8?

Hope you got your converter box!

Did anything important happen? Any world wide channel overlay with Hitler marching in on the White House? I was busy, doing important stuff.

Yep, I only get 2 channels anyway.

There's a Channel 7? Is it anything like Chanel 9?

Isn't there TV on the internet now?

I read that as: "Isn't there TV on the radio now?"

I need to get my eyes checked.

I don't really watch TV that much anyways so I could care less.

I've had digital for years so I personally couldn't care less about the switch.

I think the switch is good and all, but why did the government force it? Shouldn't it be a natural course for the TV industry to decide and take? Those stations who could afford it, make the switch earlier, on their own! Check this out, many local stations laid off many people to afford the switch, also during this tough economy, many local advertisers are taking cheaper routes, print ads, not TV ads, so the station doesn't get much of their return anytime soon.

I don't care and besides if you already pay a cable bill than you are already prepared for the digital transition.

I'm cheap. I guess the only sensible thing to do now is sell my television on eBay.
