Simple Flowchart To Explain DTV Transistion

Oddly enough, this is the correct course of action for the vast majority of the population. For several years, FCC studies indicate fully 85% or more of the population receives TV from cable or satellite. I predict February 17 (or whatever the new date will turn out to be) will come and go with no significant issues. With the 'twilight' signal stations will be airing for days following the switch, viewers will be instructed on what they need to do if they are viewing the message.
At worst, the viewer will have to trip down to Wal-Mart and pick up a $49 DTV converter.
