Or, like me, are you sick to death of hearing about it!! lol
I think they play a commercial about it 700 times a day here and our local ABC channel has a ticker across the bottom of the screen about it ALL DAY LONG. I thought finally it would be gone once the feb deadline came but then they EXTENDED it!!
Sorry...needed to vent.

We have Dish Network so it's never been a concern for us, but the commercials and countdown tickers and such are super duper annoying!

SO freaking ridiculous. They extended the deadline because they ran out of money to print the coupons for the convertors (or something absurd like that). How about MAKE THE FREAKING THING $10 and skip the stupid coupons you idiots!!
Ugh, I was so irate that they extended it.

yeah, I've seen enough. And I think it's silly it's extended because they were afraid too many people wouldn't be ready? Seriously??? they've had a year to get ready... and what's so bad if they aren't? lame. I think maybe they aren't ready to change it and not the people.

I've found it annoying some of our local channels who have ALREADY made the switch are still talking about it. Let's face it...the people who need to hear it can't see your station anymore anyway!

Yep, totally sick of it. We were always ready since we have an HD satellite receiver.

Kind of tired of it myself. 3 out of 5 of our 'local' channels have switched but they are kindly reminding everyone for the other 2 I suppose. Not that the people who need to switch can see them and really, at this point are unlikely to be sitting around wondering what the heck happened to their NBC channel. If you are not ready for it after a year of hype, you are unlikely to get your act together in the next couple of months.

I'm tired of it, too. We have satellite TV so it isn't an issue...except in the kids room. Their TV is mainly for their DVD player but I have an antenna hooked to it so they get a few grainy channels (fox and pbs mostly). They rarely watch TV on it so it really isn't an issue when they lose those channels.
