Hours left 'till TV's switch to digital

Ya know, I'm completely unprepared. And I'm neither too poor to afford a converter box or too ignorant to know what one does. I simply don't care: we don't ever watch TV. The last time we had the TV tuned to a broadcast station was during the blizzard last February to check traffic conditions. I could've gotten the exact same info off the Net had I been so inclined. And I'm so pissed off over the Colts and the stadium tax they've imposed that I can no longer in good conscience watch football and support thieves.

So go digital, broadcast TV. I don't give a rat's ass.

In less than 24 hours all full-power broadcast TV stations in the U.S. will flip a switch to stop broadcasting their analog TV signals and will only broadcast TV signals in digital. And for millions who are unprepared, it could mean lights out on their favorite TV shows.
