Many people are still confused about the transition to digital television, so thanks for providing accurate information.
Our non-profit, the Urban Progressive Foundation has been actively working with seniors and other groups to provide straight, clear and understandable information to help them through the transition.
I also went to Wilmington, North Carolina for the first full blown transition test-run.
