It’s estimated that over 1 million people are still not prepared for the switch from analog to digital viewing. As I don’t buy cable, I am already prepared, boxes and antennas ready to go. I actually did get and use my 2-per-household government coupons for my converter boxes.

Tomorrow the way we watch tv stands to bring the American public kicking and screaming into the 21st Century.

I don’t watch a lot of television to begin with. Mostly because I don’t have cable and I can’t get even the basic stations like CBS, NBC or PBS to come in. I’m honestly glad I don’t have cable, not only because I think the service is ridiculously high, but because as a recovering tv addict, I know I’d spend all my time in front of the Boob-Tube.

I remember, as a child and even into my early adulthood, being able to pick up all the stations to Channel 13. I don’t know what’s happened in the last decade that has made CBS, NBC and PBS weaken their signals. So I’m hoping that through this conversion I’ll at least be able to once again watch my favorite shows on all of the basic channels. I do so miss my PBS.

So how about you? Are you ready?
