[opendtv] Re: Senators Reach DTV Delay Compromise

Agree on all points, Frank.  However, Hawaii also has a real high degree of
cable penetration.  I've lost -- for the moment, three PSIP generator sales
in Hawaii because the customer basically decided that they would wait until
the FCC fines them for not having PSIP.

Ugh.

Why has there been so little mainstream media attention to Hawaii making 
the switch? Has it escaped everyone's attention that Obama's home state 
made the switch with only a few glitches and a few days of fielding 
phone calls from affected people?

No matter what the date is, there will always be people who will do 
absolutely nothing to prepare until they are forced to do so. When they 
wake up the day after the switch and discover that they are going to 
miss American Idol or CSI or whatever, they will quickly make their way 
to the nearest Wal-Mart or Best Buy to solve the problem -- with or 
without the free government cheese (coupon).
