Digital TV transition is tomorrow...are you ready?

Tonight at midnight, TVs across the country that are still tuning to analog airwaves will display only snow.  Don't say you haven't been warned - the networks have been playing commercials for over a year to remind folks of the original date, and you got a reprieve in February when the Obama administration felt that people just weren't ready.

But I'm sure that none of our five readers are going to be without their daily dose of television tomorrow.  If you've been watching this space or listening to the Tech Talk podcast, you've probably long ago tired of us mentioning this event at every turn.

If you run into someone who has been living in a cave and isn't aware of what's about to happen to their Seinfeld reruns, tell them there's still hope.  You can send them to www.dtv.gov to get more information about the switch and what they can do to avoid missing any programming.

Six readers.

Some of that snow is radiation left over from the "Big Bang" - the beginning of time and the universe.

Makes one almost want to watch it and contemplate, eh?

b.t.w., maybe there will be one or two of us who will dx remaining analog stations?
