One month to analog shutoff: DTV Unreadiness drops below 3 percent

We're finally within range of the DTV switch (and using this image again), and Nielsen is reporting it estimates only 3.3 million or 2.9% of U.S. households are still unready for the days after June 12. That's 200k less than when we last checked in and it looks like this should be the time everything actually happens. Got your switch throwing outfits all laid out?

Yeah, cant wait. Some of the local stations that are still simulcasting have deceased broadcast power to save on cost. Cant wait till the cutoff.

My problem with this is the stations that still don't (and won't by deadline) have enough digital coverage for fringe areas. So it doesn't matter if you are ready or not. A lot of people are still going to get a blank image when they turn on the TV.

Will it ever happen?
