There is another message that needs to be told in the DTV Transition:
re-scan for channels regularly, especially for this first year. There are
a number of new channels here in Las Vegas that are popping up using
DTV-LP and there are several NTSC channels (especially LPTV) that are not
digital yet and might not be for some time. So this digital transition
will not be a flash transition.
I have much anecdotal evidence that suggests people are getting converter
boxes but only scan it the first time they get it. Some folks, including
myself, are surprised each time a scan is performed and a new frequencies
shows up, often with multiple channels. But there are several people I
know that are only getting 4 or 5 frequencies because they don't realize
there are more stations switching. And there will be more throughout the
year.
And there are several I know that have a DTV converter but are still only
using analog because they still get more channels on the analog, waiting
for the day when all goes digital.
Overall, I think the message now should not be that there is a transition
but how the transition will happen (over time) and how to cope with it!
