We all know that in February '09 we will have no more analog TV transmission, so watch this and learn!

Where'd they get that video of me? ...Nah, it couldn't be; I haven't owned a TV since 1989.

You mean they are changing the TV to digital? I haven't heard anything about it!
Note my sarcasm, please.
They have CRAWLS on the bottom of the screen here DURING SHOWS to warn us that we have 4 months left to get ready.

I only remember hearing something about it a couple of years ago. I don't hate TV but I just seldom seem to find them turned on around me. Good thing, I get sucked in too easily. I'm just as happy with the TV in my head

What? They're changing TV? They're telling us all about it on the TV during shows? Hmm, I haven't seen anything about it. Of course, I haven't watched TV for over 20 years, so I'm guessing it won't have a big effect on my evenings...

...it will the day you decide to turn yours on, assuming you still have that old tubed, b&w TV set with those rabbit ears on it.
