I think this is a good idea, quite honestly, it should be done 6 months before, 3 months, 1 month, 10 days, ect. Basically. Your average user that will be affected doesn't watch commercials or the News, so the two mediums they are trying to reach out on arent effective. Pick a day, a day with important programming, but not so important that people will freak out, like the American Idol Final, and nationwide have a "Shutoff Test" blank all Analog channels for 24 hours with information superimposed on the screen, do it again 3 months later and hope the call numbers went down. My idea, if you want to use it you need permission, I am looking at you FCC.
what about CRT sets they will get burned in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
